PA couple, dog receive reward for helping locate fugitive who escaped from Warren County Jail

Warren County, PA — The Pennsylvania couple and their dog who came face-to-face with escapee Michael Burham were given a reward on Tuesday.

Thanks to the tip from Ron and Cindy Ecklund, Burham was taken into custody, and they were presented with $2,000 in cash from the Warren County Crime Stoppers.

Their dog Tucker was also celebrated. His rewards include a new collar, a bucket of tennis balls and a steak waiting in the refrigerator.

On Saturday, Tucker started barking at someone in the woods and that is when his owners checked on him and came in contact with the fugitive.

“Tucker was aggressively barking at him; he barks at everybody, but it was different. I think he was a little afraid of what Tucker might do.”

An additional reward from both the U.S. Marshals and Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers will total $20,000 and will being presented to Ron, Cindy and Tucker at a later date.
