UNDATED (11/22/23) – An eastern Kentucky man awaiting trial on murder charges who escaped from home incarceration has been captured in Kansas. 24-year-old Samuel Baker is charged in a 2021 murder in Pulaski County. Authorities there said Baker was provided a bond reduction in August while awaiting trial and was placed on house arrest with an ankle monitor. Baker removed his ankle monitoring device and left his home in Somerset. He was arrested this week in the town of El Dorado with another individual on charges unrelated to the escape of murder.
