An escaped inmate has been recaptured while driving a stolen Muskogee police officer's truck. Oklahoma City Police confirm Nathan Harmon was arrested Wednesday night during a traffic stop at the intersection of SE 89th Street and South Shields Boulevard.
He is in custody for concealing stolen property, false impersonation, and unauthorized use of a vehicle, as well as some Canadian County warrants.
Harmon went missing late last month from the Jess Dunn Correctional Center in Muskogee County where he was serving an eight-year sentence for second-degree burglary.

Muskogee Police Officer James Folsom, who lives near the Taft facility, said his kids got home from school just half an hour after a neighbor saw his truck pulling out of the driveway with someone else behind the wheel.
Folsom's kids found a blood trail in their home. The DOC believed Harmon was injured from crawling over barbed wire fencing.
Oklahoma Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension and Investigations agents tracked the 32-year-old man to the OKC area, a news release from the Oklahoma Department of Corrections states.
“This just goes to show that if you walk or run away from one of our facilities, we will find and arrest you, ultimately,” ODOC Director Joe M. Allbaugh said.
