Escapee from Fort Supply is recaptured at Enid store

By Cass Rains Staff Writer

A man who escaped from the minimum-security Department of Corrections facility in Fort Supply Tuesday morning was recaptured by two police officers at an Enid convenience store.

Danny Joe Cook, 40, who is serving 30 years, with 20 years suspended, for counts of uttering a forged instrument and second-degree forgery in Pittsburg County, escaped from the minimum-security facility in western Woodward County between 7:30 and 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, the DOC reported.

Cook was apprehended at 3:13 p.m. by two Enid Police Department detectives at a convenience store at Cleveland and Garriott.

Capt. Dean Grassino said the department received information about Cook’s escape and had been on the lookout for him. Two undercover detectives learned Cook was possibly in Enid and observed a person matching his description on the pay phone at the convenience store. Detectives spoke with the man, who still was wearing his DOC inmate shirt, but turned inside-out.

“You could still read the word inmate from a distance,” Grassino said.

Cook was placed under arrest without incident and was transported to the Garfield County Detention Facility. He was booked on charges of escape from a penal institution, with the possibility of other charges being filed.
