Texas Escaped Prisoner Captured 3 Miles Away, Faces Felony Escape Charges

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vows legal action to halt President Biden's amnesty plan. Escaped felon Kidanny Robles captured near Angleton prison.

On Saturday night, a Texas criminal named Kidanny Robles escaped from a prison facility in Angleton, Texas. He was located 3 miles away the next day, after a brief investigation by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Robles was serving a 20-year sentence for crimes like burglary, robbery, and aggravated robbery.

Escape and Capture

The escape was discovered during a routine count at midnight on Sunday, where security guards found 33-year-old Kidanny Robles was unaccounted for. He had walked away from a housing location outside the main prison for inmates requiring a lower level of supervision. Local and state law enforcement officials, along with the Office for the Inspector General, conducted a search for Robles and located him nearly 10 hours after announcing he had gone missing, three miles from the prison facility.

Shooting and Charges

Law enforcement officials ordered Robles to stop, which he refused. Then, a captain from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice shot him in the arm. Now, Robles faces felony escape charges for escaping prison.

Due to the escape, the prison had to cancel all visitations on Sunday as staff members were assisting with the search for Robles.

It was revealed that in addition to his 20-year sentence, Robles had also received a subsequent 180-day sentence for possession of a controlled substance out of Nueces County from 2022.
