Man who escaped prison 37 years ago heading back to Iowa

A man who had been jailed in Camp Verde for three months since his arrest for escaping an Iowa prison 37 years ago is in the process of being brought back to Iowa. Officials say 68-year old Charles Leroy Cagley was turned over to the U.S. Marshals Service Wednesday. Cagley believed he was no longer a wanted man, but was arrested in late March after the FBI found he had been living in Prescott Valley for more than a decade. He went to prison in 1978 for a robbery and escaped in January 1981 from the Newton Correctional Facility. Officials say if Cagley is currently set be released from prison in 2020, but could face additional prison time due to his escape.
