A Detroit woman who escaped from a Michigan prison 33 years ago was arrested in Tennessee on Friday morning, according to U.S. Marshals.
Rebecca Hatcher, 57, was arrested on her front porch in Camden, Tenn., without incident, said Deputy U.S. Marshal Matthew Batcheller. Hatcher is being held in the Madison County jail, he said, and will be moved to Michigan by the end of the month to face prosecutors.
Hatcher had been on the run since 1975 after climbing the 12-foot fence of the Robert Scott Correctional Facility in Plymouth Township. Hatcher, who later married and had a daughter, was serving a 1- to 15-year prison sentence for unarmed robbery at the time of her escape. She had only served eight months of the sentence, Batcheller said.

Though Hatcher ran away from her past, it did not disappear. A butterfly tattoo from prison photos taken in 1975 confirmed her identity for authorities, who took her into county jail at about 10 a.m. Friday.
