Daniel Selby's Capture: How It All Went Down

WARRINGTON, PA — Police in Warrington have provided additional details on how an escaped prisoner who eluded police for nearly two days was captured Tuesday, after closing schools Monday and causing lockdowns the next day.

Here is a synopsis provided by Warrington Township Police:

Daniel Selby Jr., 25, was captured early afternoon around 12:45 p.m. Witnesses told authorities they spotted Selby running across County Line Road into Horsham Township around 12:30 p.m. Canine officers began to track Selby; he ran back across County Line Road into the Bluestone Woods residential neighborhood in Warrington Township.

Police contained Selby to a geographical area near the Bradford Dam Reservoir. A police canine from Bensalem Township located Selby hiding in a bush around 12:45 p.m.

Selby escaped around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, about 30 minutes after he was arrested in Montgomery County for failing to appear in court on a drug charge out of Bensalem. He was picked up by the Bucks County Sheriff's Department, and as he was being transported asked to officers to stop because he was feeling sick and said he was going to throw up. He then pushed a deputy and ran away at Lower State and Bristol roads.

The fiasco caused Central Bucks schools to be closed Monday. A lockdown was in place Tuesday at seven Central Bucks schools following the sighting. The lockdown was lifted once Selby was in police custody.
