Pennsylvania authorities have released photos of murder suspect Michael Burham during his arrest, which followed a more than week-long manhunt.
Burham, 34, was taken into custody “at gunpoint” Saturday after evading authorities for nine days. Burham reportedly used gym equipment at the Warren County jail earlier this month to climb though the jail’s gym to the rooftop, where he allegedly used bedsheets to climb down and escape, according to Pennsylvania authorities.
Photos of his arrest show Burham wearing a graying T-shirt and orange prison pants turned inside out while surrounded by armed law enforcement officials.
Police said the suspect appeared “tired” and “worn out” at the time of his arrest.

He was apprehended in Conewango Township, located in Warren County, after a resident notified authorities of a “suspicious individual” in the area. The homeowner heard his dog barking in the backyard, and went outside to investigate. The homeowner found Burham outside and the two had a short conversation, including the suspect claiming he was on a “camping trip,” police said.
Law enforcement officers, air support and K-9s formed a “very large perimeter” and “tracked” the suspect “through the woods,” ultimately apprehending him just before 6 p.m. on Saturday.
