2nd inmate who escaped NJ youth facility captured

ANNANDALE, N.J. (AP) - May 27, 2012 (WPVI) -- One of the two inmates who escaped from a youth detention facility in western New Jersey last weekend has been captured in northern New Jersey.

A State Corrections Department spokesman says 23-year-old Michael Bentley was taken into custody around 4:45 a.m. Sunday in Hardyston Township, in Sussex County.

He had no immediate details on how or where Bentley was found.

Bentley and another inmate, 21-year-old Corey Agostarola, were discovered missing from the Mountainview Youth Correctional Facility in Annandale last Sunday night. Agostarola was captured Friday night.

At the time of their escape from the Hunterdon County facility, Agostarola had been in custody on burglary and weapons charges, while Bentley was being held on theft and burglary charges.
