LIBERTY August 21, 2019 - Freedom did not last even for a day for Liberty County Jail escapees Clay Sterling Harvey and Chance Marshall Hunt as they both were arrested and taken into custody at approximately 3:30pm this evening. Acting on information developed throughout the day, deputies with the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office and the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office went to an undisclosed location in Shepherd, Texas where Harvey was arrested without resistance but Hunt fled into nearby woods. A few minutes later Hunt was arrested as well. Both men are being returned to the Liberty County Jail by authorities.

Liberty County Sheriff Bobby Rader said he wishes  to thank the many law enforcement agencies that worked hand-in-hand to make this rapid arrest possible and the news media, as well, as they assisted greatly by getting the information to the public in a such a timely manner.
