Police continued to look for the escapee, 35-year-old Clifton Brumley, whom they say may have been involved in a credit union holdup in Tyler around noon Monday in which a pregnant woman was briefly taken hostage. Brumley was reportedly on foot in the Tyler area, said David Nunnelee, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Huntsville. F >e ggy Roswell and Shirley Cherry of Texarkana were found near Texas 110 at Loop 323 about 10 p.m. One of the women was taken to a local hospital for treatment of diabetes, while the other was returned to her fami ly, Nunnelee said. He was uncertain which one had been hospitalized. Brumley had been serving 35 years for theft and burglary at the state prison at New Boston, near Texarkana. He had been working with prison livestock outside the fence Saturday when he drove off in a tractor. Events began unfolding Mon day morning, when Brumley ap parently was hiding in a closet at the Westridge Animal Hospi tal as Roswell opened the busi ness. Three other employees watched in horror as Roswell, 29, was taken at gunpoint. Brumley then allegedly took Roswell to a nearby house and ab ducted Shirley Cherry, 55, and drove away with them in Cherry’s vehicle, authorities said. Brumley’s absence was no ticed Saturday during an inmate count about 5 p.m., prison offi cials said. He had last been seen about three hours before that. Texas Gov. George W, Bush’s Criminal Justice Divi sion has posted $1,000 reward leading to the apprehension of Brumley, who has been in and out of prison since 1980, Nun nelee said. Texarkana is 165 miles north east of Dallas, on the Arkansas state line.
