Authorities have successfully rearrested Israel Bradley N. Usher, a 29-year-old suspect who escaped police custody while facing serious robbery charges involving two American tourists. The recapture occurred Tuesday evening at approximately 7:00 PM in the Bainsville sector of Hattiville Village following an intensive multi-agency operation.
Usher’s flight from law enforcement began on Monday, December 22, shortly after his initial detention for an armed robbery that occurred on Friday, December 19. The original incident involved two American female tourists who were allegedly threatened with a knife while walking along Burns Avenue in San Ignacio.
Investigative evidence, including surveillance footage, captured a physical altercation between Usher and one of the victims during which the assailant attempted to seize her purse. The stolen property contained multiple valuables including a mobile device, $200 in cash, and various personal identification cards.
Law enforcement officials utilized electronic tracking technology to locate the stolen phone, leading them to detain an individual matching the suspect’s description. Usher now faces additional charges beyond the original robbery counts, including escaping lawful custody, as he remains in secure detention awaiting judicial proceedings.
