Stephen Houk also napped at a city library and ate a meal at a homeless shelter during his time on the run, Capt. Houk, 46, was arrested at a railway yard Thursday in the Mojave Desert city of Barstow. Immediately after Houk ran out of the motor home, he told police he hid under the foliage of the orchard and then ran for about three hours, avoiding highways. Eventually Houk made his way to a library in Bakersfield, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) from where the chase ended. Police found Houk in a rail car about 130 miles (210 kilometers) east in a Barstow rail yard, where authorities had been stopping and searching all incoming and outgoing trains.
