DUTCH QUARTER--Anthony R. Spencer (41) who escaped from the Pointe Blanche prison Sunday morning, was found and arrested in Dutch Quarter around 6:30pm Monday.
He was captured by members of the Police Zero Tolerance Team led by Police Acting Chief Commissioner Carl John and Inspector Bloeiman.
Police spokesman Inspector Ricardo Henson reported that Spencer had been found at a location on Quilletor Drive in Dutch Quarter.
He said Spencer had resisted arrest when officers closed in and the arresting officer had needed to use force to ensure Spencer's capture. As a result, Spencer sustained injuries and had to be transported by ambulance to St. Maarten Medical Center for treatment.
Spencer escaped from the Pointe Blanche prison on October 30 at 5:30am while serving a 20-year sentence for the 2010 murder of Christian Lloyd.
According to a press statement from the Pointe Blanche prison, Spencer had been unlocked and taken to the kitchen around 5:30am Sunday to carry out his daily duties of preparing breakfast for the prison inmates. Finding an opportunity for escape, he climbed onto the roof of the kitchen, ran across and jumped onto the roof of the prison command central, then jumped off the roof and climbed over the fence of the prison and ran away.
Prison Director Rudsel Ricardo said at the time that when Spencer was captured he would have to stand before a judge and receive sentencing for escape from the prison.
Lloyd was found lying dead in a pool of blood on his bed at his home on Watermelon Road in St. Peters and Spencer was sentenced to 20 years on October 12 for Lloyd's murder. The judge ruled it "legally and convincingly proven" that Spencer was responsible for the murder, because traces of his DNA had been found on a roll and a piece of duct tape that had been found under Lloyd's body.
