Fugitive surrenders in Trenton

Posted: October 19, 2011

A fugitive from a Cumberland County halfway house surrendered without incident Tuesday night in Trenton, a state spokesman said.

Lamont White, 36, had escaped overnight Sunday from Kintock House in Bridgeton, said Matt Schuman, a Department of Corrections spokesman. He was found in Trenton and was persuaded to surrender, Schuman said.

White, of Chesilhurst, was serving time for criminal homicide and related offenses in connection with a 2004 robbery in which the 63-year-old victim, whose head hit the pavement after White punched him in the face, later died. - Robert Moran
