A man who had cut his ankle monitor off and then escaped from the Florida Department of Corrections in Kissimmee was re-arrested in Indian River County on Sunday and is now spending time in the Indian River County Jail.

A resident of a home near 6400 48th Avenue in Vero Beach Florida reported that someone had burglarized their home on Sunday, and taken clothing and food.

Indian River County’s Street Crimes Unit, K9, Helicopter, and numerous patrol units responded to the area and found escaped prisoner Edward Saucier hiding in a nearby wooded area.

On December 1st, Saucier cut his ankle monitor off and escaped the Florida Department of Corrections in Kissimmee after being sentenced to two years in state prison for committing numerous burglaries in Indian River County, pretty much what got him re-arrested and put back in custody.
