A 31-year-old man who escaped a corrections center in Delaware on Christmas Day 2018 was found over 100 miles north in Montclair, authorities announced Tuesday.

David Succarote was extradited to Plummer Community Correctional Center in Wilmington, authorities said, after he was caught by township police on Jan. 15th.

The Middletown native was caught on Glenridge Avenue in the township, a mere 118 miles from where he was serving time, authorities said. Succarote was arrested by Montclair police on stolen property and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.

Township police said the charges are related to the packages that were robbed on Church Street, a a popular downtown destination in Montclair.

On Dec. 25, Succarote escaped the corrections center by jumping over the prison fence, Delaware state authorities said.

Succarote was in custody since August at the level four facility for offenders who are transitioning back into the community, authorities said.

Corrections spokeswoman Jamie Young told the Associated Press that Succarote, who was serving time for a probation violation and due to be released next summer, had escaped previously.

It's not known how long Succarote was in New Jersey.
