Late Thursday night, the Maine State Police Tactical Team brought escaped convict James Berube into custody after a seven-hour standoff at a Pleasant Point residence. Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC) officials said in a press release earlier that day that the Downeast Correctional Facility inmate serving twelve years for burglary, had walked off his work-release site in Machias the night before.
