Escapee captured in Liberty Motel

Liberty, In. — Using information from the public, a team of officers from Indiana State Police SWAT, Fugitive Task Force and U.S. Marshall Service arrested an escapee from Cass County Tuesday.

Weeks ago, Vonny Dean Craw, 59, of Logansport, walked away from a Cass County Work Release Center program and police believe he has been hard at work since. He was serving a 20-year sentence for armed robbery.

Craw has been identified as a suspect in many thefts in southern Indiana including the robbery of the Bloom Bank in Linton, Indiana back in August. Craw is also a suspect in several other robberies and car thefts in southeast Indiana.

Craw was arrested in room 5 at the Liberty Motel at 6 p.m. without incident. Police recovered a stolen 2008 Chevrolet Malibu and an undetermined amount of cash.

The investigation is ongoing and more charges are possible.
