Officers picked up Mark Alexander Adams without incident in Des Moines, Washington, about 20 minutes away from Washington state's largest psychiatric hospital, Lakewood police Lt. Chris Lawler said. Lawler did not say who recognized Adams but did say that he was spotted as a result of the media attention to the case. Mark Alexander Adams, 59, was apprehended in Des Moines, Washington, about 30 miles north of Western State Hospital, where he and fellow patient Anthony Garver escaped Wednesday night. He was arrested in 2013 for first-degree murder but was found not competent to stand trial. The pair were last seen in the hospital's dining hall at 6 p.m. and hospital staffers learned they were missing at 7 p.m. and notified police.
– Two dangerous patients escaped from a psychiatric hospital in Washington state on Wednesday, though one of them was captured Thursday amid an intense manhunt. Anthony Garver and Mark Alexander Adams broke out of Western State Hospital around 6pm Wednesday, possibly through a loose window in their room. Police picked up Adams without incident in a town about 30 miles away, reports AP. He reportedly took a bus there and was trying to get to the airport. Garver is still at large. Both men were on 180-day court-mandated stays at the hospital and are deemed "dangerous to others," hospital staff tell ABC News. Adams, 59, was charged with domestic violence in 2014 and found unfit to stand trial. Garver, 28, is accused of stabbing a woman 24 times before fatally slashing her throat in 2013. He, too, was considered unfit for trial. A judge presiding over his case said he was "scary to say the least."
