A fugitive who escaped custody at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in May appeared surprisingly pleased with his recapture, flashing a broad grin as law enforcement escorted him back to Kentucky.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office shared the update on Sedrick T. Stevenson, thanking the other agencies for their help, stating that they “coordinated closely” with U.S. Marshals and Seattle-area agencies to ensure Stevenson’s secure return.
Photos released by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office show Stevenson smiling cheerfully while seated on a plane alongside multiple law enforcement officers — a striking contrast to the circumstances of his return to custody.
“Therefore, we wanted to ensure he was brought back without issue. We underwent coordination with the Port of Seattle Police, Seattle Police, US Marshals, Air Marshals, and TSA,” the sheriff’s office shared.
