Idaho Prison Gang Member and Accomplice Captured After Hospital Escape

Authorities investigate duo's link to two homicides following their dramatic escape from custody.

Police arrested an Idaho prison gang member and an accomplice after a hospital ambush aimed at freeing the inmate, investigating potential links to two homicides.
The duo, identified as Skylar Meade and Nicholas Umphenour, were apprehended in Twin Falls, following their escape from a Boise hospital.
Authorities are probing the pair's connection to two killings in Nez Perce and Clearwater counties, with evidence including shackles found at one crime scene.
Three corrections officers were wounded during the escape attempt, with one in critical but stable condition.
The incident highlights the ongoing issue of white supremacist prison gangs, with the Aryan Knights gang, to which Meade belongs, being a significant concern.
