Police say 46-year-old Charles Chaples was caught in the town of Marion at about 7 a.m. No details were provided about the arrest. Chaples was paroled last year after serving 24 years in prison for the 1982 shooting death of a night watchman at an amusement park in Dartmouth. -- The Associated Press Authorities said Chaples, who works as a truck driver, was making a delivery to the Mattapoissett Business Park on Thursday when officers attempted to serve a warrant for the parole violation that stemmed from an alleged domestic incident in New Bedford. Police say Chaples fled into nearby woods, prompting a massive search involving canine units and a helicopter. Concerned school officials canceled outdoor recess and informed parents that children would not be dropped off at bus stops unless parents were there to greet them.
