(CNN) An MMA fighter facing murder charges escaped custody for nine hours before being caught Sunday. Police in Conroe, Texas, just outside Houston, said Cedric Joseph Marks, 44, ran away from a Texas Prisoner Transport Services van while it was stopped at a McDonald's. Marks was in restraints, according to CNN affiliate KPRC-TV , but after he escaped, he was able to get out of his shackles. "We do believe there was still one (guard) in the van or near the van," McGinnis said when asked whether Marks was being supervised. Lt. Scott Spencer with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office tweeted Marks had been captured "after an exhausting 9-hour manhunt involving multiple Montgomery County, State and Federal Law Enforcement agencies."
