DULCE, N.M.—Authorities caught the second of two escaped Colorado jail inmates Friday, less than a day after police officers fatally shot the other in northern New Mexico.

New Mexico Department of Public Safety spokesman Peter Olson said Jason Snow, 24, was found hiding in an outhouse near Lumberton about 7:30 a.m.

State police and Jicarilla Apache tribal police acting on a tip found Snow and Clifford Reseigh, 45, in an abandoned trailer in a remote area near Dulce.

Reseigh was killed by tribal police when he tried to attack officers, Olson said.

Snow escaped, touching off a manhunt that involved about 100 officers from law enforcement agencies in Colorado and New Mexico. They set up roadblocks throughout the Dulce and Lumberton areas, Olson said.

“The joint effort with all those agencies is why we kept him in the area and why we caught him,” Olson said.

A storm moved in Thursday night, but once the sun came up, officers tracked Snow down an arroyo and into an area of scattered buildings, he said. A search of all the buildings turned him up in the outhouse.

Snow offered no resistance, he said.

He was being jailed in Rio Arriba County pending extradition to Colorado.

Authorities had been searching for the inmates since Tuesday night, when authorities said the pair escaped from the Archuleta County Detention Center near Pagosa Springs, Colo., after assaulting two jail guards and stealing a vehicle.

Archuleta County sheriff’s officials said Snow was being held pending sentencing for felony convictions of assault, tampering with evidence and leaving the scene of an accident that caused serious bodily injury. Reseigh had been held on a probation violation.
