DEVILS LAKE -- An inmate who escaped last month from Lake Region Law Enforcement Center has been captured.
Kenneth Eagleman, 29, was arrested Sunday afternoon without incident at a Devils Lake residence, Ramsey County Sheriff Steve Nelson said.
Eagleman escaped April 22 by breaking a steel gate from a window and using the gate to break the window, according to a report from the LEC.
On Monday, Ramsey County District Judge Lee Christofferson set May 27 for a preliminary hearing and/or arraignment on the charge of escape, a Class C felony.
Eagleman had been in the jail since March 2 on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, reckless driving, fleeing in a motor vehicle and two counts of theft of property.

Eagleman’s North Dakota arrest record, which dates back to 2003, includes nearly three dozen charges, including burglary, carrying a concealed weapon, counterfeiting, disorderly conduct, DUI, child abuse and two previous escapes, one in 2014 and another from 2003, when at age 17, he escaped from the Missouri River Correctional Facility in Bismarck.
