The inmate reported missing over the weekend from the south unit of the Hutchinson Correctional Facility was apprehended Tuesday morning.
Mark Edward Lucas was apprehended in Topeka at around 8:15 a-m.
Lucas had contacted the Kansas Department of Corrections and law enforcement to make arrangements to surrender to DOC Special Agents. After surrendering, Lucas was taken to the Shawnee County Detention Facility where he was be held until he is returned to the Hutchinson Correctional Facility.
Lucas was serving time for numerous burglaries and theft cases out of Shawnee County. Two were aggravated burglaries, one for burglary, and several theft convictions. That according to the Kansas Department of Corrections website. They were apparently a total of 19-charges that he entered pleas to, including entering a Wal-Mart in Topeka when he has been advised of criminal trespass.
Lucas will no doubt now face additional charges here in Reno County.
