KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - Two men who escaped from a northwestern Arizona prison and the woman accused of helping them have pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault and armed robbery. John McCluskey, Tracy Province and Casslyn Welch were arraigned Monday in Kingman, where they are being held on a $1 million bond. The charges against the trio stem from the hijacking of atractor-trailer shortly after McCluskey and Province fled from the state prison in Kingman on July 30 allegedly with Welch's help.
The trio also faces charges in the deaths of an Oklahoma couple in New Mexico. McCluskey and Welch were captured Thursday in eastern Arizona after a three-week manhunt. Province was caught in Wyoming on Aug. 9. A third escaped convict, Daniel Renwick, was arrested Aug. 1 in Colorado.
