St. Charles, Mo. – Three teenagers are back in custody, but one had to be rescued from a small island in the Missouri River, after an escape from a detention center.
The three escaped from the St. Charles County Juvenile Justice Center last night.
Drivers spotted two of them near Interstate 70 asking for a ride. One went into the Missouri River and had to be rescued from an island.
Investigators say the teens scaled a 25-foot fence topped with razor wire.
