An insane killer who slipped away from the staff of a mental institution at the Spokane County International Fair has been recaptured without injury in the in Goldendale in south-central Washington.
Spokane County sheriff's Capt. Dave Reagan says 47-year-old Phillip Arnold Paul was nabbed by Deputy Roger Knight — the same deputy who arrested Paul and was injured by him after an escape in 1991.
Reagan says Paul was trying to elude a search helicopter and walked to a road to try to hitch a ride just as Knight arrived at the scene.
An insane killer who slipped away from the staff of a mental institution on a field trip Thursday to the Spokane County Interstate Fair was recaptured Sunday without injury more than 180 miles away in south central Washington state. "He came out of the brush, onto the roadway, as law enforcement officers were going by," said Klickitat County Sheriff Rick McComas. Phillip Arnold Paul, 47, was committed to Eastern State Hospital after he was diagnosed as schizophrenic and acquitted by reason of insanity in the slaying of an elderly woman in Sunnyside in 1987. Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said one of the officers involved in Sunday’s arrest also nabbed Paul after he gave personnel the slip during a 1991 field trip.
