The latest fugitive, Roger Allen Chipman, was arrested outside his home in Milwaukee without incident by the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force on June 4, 2008. Chipman was two years into a 5-10 year prison sentence for Indecent Acts Involving a Minor when he escaped from a work detail at Marquette Branch Prison in 1970. His current girlfriend was with him at the time of the arrest and said she had no idea about his status as a Michigan prison escapee.

Chipman, age 69, was living in Wisconsin under the name Roger Hansen. He had been convicted of two separate sex offenses in Wisconsin serving probation and then a prison sentence for those crimes. Because he used an alias, different birth date, and bogus social security number when he was arrested and processed through the Wisconsin criminal justice system, there was never a connection made to his status as a fugitive from Michigan.

A break in the case came when the MDOC and U.S. Marshals distributed fingerprints of Chipman to individual state fingerprint identification databases. The Wisconsin Division of Law Enforcement Services contacted the Marshals about a registered sex offender named Roger Hansen as a possible match. Positive identification was confirmed and the team picked Chipman up without incident outside his home in Milwaukee.

Chipman is currently awaiting extradition to Michigan, where he may face additional criminal charges related to his escape.
