BLYTHEVILLE, Ark.  - Two escapees from an Arkansas Department of Correction work-release center have been recaptured.
     Department spokeswoman Shea  Wilson said Saturday that 46-year-old Danny Rankins was recaptured Saturday in Liberal, Kansas and 42-year-old John Laxton Junior was arrested Friday night between Loveland and Denver, Colorado.
     Wilson did not have details of the arrests - but said both were taken into custody without incident after being spotted on various store videos in Oklahoma.
     Wilson says investigators believe the two were picked up from separate work-release sites in Blytheville on July 18th by a woman. Wilson said a woman with Laxton when he was arrested was also arrested - but has not been charged.
      Laxton was serving a 20-year sentence for theft while Rankins was serving a 20-year term for drug convictions.
