Teen Fugitives Caught After Escaping Juvenile Prison

Two teen inmates have been caught a day after escaping from a juvenile prison in Giddings, Texas, about 100 miles northwest of Houston.

The Texas Juvenile Justice Department said in a release that 16-year-olds Brice Ryan Karalis and Bryan Ernando Villanueva were arrested Sunday evening in Montgomery County. The two disappeared from the Giddings State School around 9 p.m. Saturday.

The teens' mode of escape was not released, and additional details about their apprehension were not immediately available.

It was not immediately clear why Karalis or Villanueva were being held at the prison.
