SEATTLE — A man who escaped from a beleaguered psychiatric facility in Washington state was caught Thursday, but a second fugitive, who was charged with murder but found mentally incompetent to stand trial, was still on the loose.

Mark Alexander Adams, 58, who had been accused of domestic assault in 2014, and Anthony Garver, 28, crawled through a window of a locked, lower-security unit of Washington state’s largest psychiatric hospital on Wednesday night, police and hospital officials said.

Western State Hospital says the men were discovered missing 45 minutes later, but police said it took an hour and a half. There was no immediate way to reconcile the different timelines.

Adams got on a bus and asked the driver how to get to the airport. Someone recognized Adams and officers picked him up Thursday morning without incident about 20 minutes away from the facility in a town just south of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Lakewood police Lt. Chris Lawler said.

The escape is the latest in a litany of problems at the 800-bed hospital south of Tacoma, where violent assaults on both staff and patients have occurred.

U.S. regulators have repeatedly cited the facility over safety concerns and threatened to cut millions in federal funding. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently extended the hospital’s deadline for fixing the problems from April 1 to May 3.

A federal judge also has said the hospital has failed to provide timely competency services to mentally ill people charged with crimes.

Garver, who was arrested on suspicion of murder in 2013, remains at large. He was charged with tying a woman to a bed with electrical cords at her home and torturing her to death, Snohomish County Assistant Prosecutor Craig Matheson said. She was stabbed dozens of times.

The bus driver picked up a man he believed was Garver around 6 p.m. Wednesday, said police, who urged anyone who spots him to keep away and contact authorities.

Garver’s lawyer, Jon Scott, said he could not speak about the escape but said he hopes Garver “is found quickly and safely and returned to Western State Hospital.”
