The driver had been arrested on suspicion of hindering prosecution.

Zebulon Thomas, 25, was freed Friday after posting bail on three outstanding warrants. One of them was an $11,000 warrant for probation revocation; the other two were traffic related.

Thomas, who was driving a white pickup, was stopped by police at 12:17 p.m. Thursday on Kane'ohe Bay Drive. The capture of Elicker, 25, came about two minutes after fellow escapee Albert Batalona , 27, was taken into custody on a city bus in Kane'ohe. David Scrib- ner, 20, was captured at 12:07 p.m. Thursday while walking on Kamehameha Highway in Punalu'u.

All three escaped April 4 from Halawa Correctional Facility's maximum security unit by going through a plumbing access panel in the cells.

Once free, they allegedly carjacked a Honda Civic at the Stadium Mall and drove to the Hau'ula Kai Shopping Center. They then headed into Hau'ula Valley, where they were the subject of an intense search.

Lt. Bill Kato, supervisor of HPD's career criminal and homicide investigations, said today that the arrest of Scribner was key to the 10-minute roundup of the escapees.

"The patrolman (Officer Rik Orton) finding Scribner pretty much confirmed the man we were following on the bus was Batalona," Kato said.

Police had seen a man fitting Batalona's description board a city bus in Hau'ula but had held back because the man had a tattoo that was not in the inmate's description, Kato said.

The escapees slipped through the dragnet around Hau'ula Valley by making the steep climb out of the valley to the Kahuku-side ridge, said Kato.

"They came down the ridge, and it's high enough to see the perimeter (of police coverage)," Kato added.
