Freeman, officials said, was apprehended at a home just about four miles away from the Kintock Group facility on the 600 block of East Luzerne Street that he escaped from just about nine days prior.
At about 8 a.m. on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, officials said, members of the U.S. Marshals Service surrounded a property where Freeman was believed to be staying.
Upon entering the residence, law enforcement officials said, Freeman was found hiding under a pile of clothes in the living room.
He has been taken into custody and has been taken to the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia to serve the remainder of his sentence, officials said.
Officials said Freeman, who was finishing a 96-month sentence on firearm possession charges, climbed two fences and fled the facility after getting in an argument with a staff member.
