Saatio Heading North

Fugitive John Wesley Saatio is expected to be back in the Copper Country within a few days. Saatio is currently being held at the Harris County Jail in Texas. He escaped from custody in Houghton County a year ago. He was captured several weeks ago in Costa Rica… escaped again… but was quickly recaptured and extradited to the United States. Houghton County Sheriff Brian McLean says that Saatio will probably shipped north sometime this weekend via an independent transport company. He’ll face charges that include home invasion and destruction of police property, along with any new charges stemming from his escape.
