Arkansas inmate on lam for 32 years was visiting mother when captured
LITTLE ROCK—The mother of an Arkansas prison escapee who had been on the run for more than three decades said she has been in contact with her son since soon after his escape and that he was visiting her when he was arrested.
Steven Dishman, 60, was arrested Sunday at a home in Springdale in northwest Arkansas by local law enforcement and state troopers, according to the state Department of Correction.
Shirley Jones told The Associated Press on Monday that her son has been living in southern Arkansas, but would not say exactly where Dishman had been been living or for how long.
Jones said she came into contact with her son about six months after he escaped from prison. Dishman is not married and has no children, according to Jones.
