| 'SUICIDAL' |
Russell C. Marcum had been facing burglary charges when he fled Fort Drum, CO in as stolen car, leading cops on a chase over three counties, before they were able to use stop sticks to puncture the tires.
Armed with a handgun, wearing camouflage and a bulletproof vest the first class private fled into a wooded area and disappeared.
He was reportedly suicidal and said that he would force police to shoot him in order to end his life, but despite a huge manhunt using dogs and helicopters he has still not been found.
Fort Drum spokeswoman Julie Cupernall said Marcum had been under 'unit custody' in the barracks on a charge of third-degree burglary after being accused of stealing a $700 plasma TV from a storage unit.
