Killer mistakenly freed in custody
Authorities captured a convicted murderer whom Chicago authorities mistakenly released from custody.
Steven Robbins, 44, convicted of a 2002 murder in Indianapolis,had been on the run for three days before he was captured in Illinois Friday night.
After interviewing Robbins' family and friends, they were able to determine where he was, the Cook County Sheriff's Department said.
They captured Robbins in the city of Kankakee, about 60 miles away from Chicago.
A solemn-faced Robbins, dressed in blue jeans and spotless new shoes, was photographed by Cook County authorities after his arrest and before he was put into a police car.
This saga started on Tuesday when Robbins was taken from an Indianapolis prison to Illinois for a court hearing on unrelated weapons and drug charges, according to the Indiana Department of Correction.
Both of those charges were dropped and Robbins was supposed to be returned to the Indiana prison to continue serving his 60-year sentence for the murder.
