Escapee captured

Des Moines police officers, along with a US Marshall and two parole and probation officers stormed a house yesterday and fired tear gas inside to arrest an escaped inmate. A standoff lasted about 7 hours before the capture. Donald Charles Fessler walked away from a Des Moines work release facility November 30th. Before he was captured at an apartment complex on 24th street, officers said Fessler had cut a hole in the floor to move from the upstairs to one of two units below. He was hauled out of the complex about 4:20 yesterday afternoon and booked into the Polk County jail.
