TECUMSEH, OK -- Two men are behind bars today after a wild crime spree that included robberies, carjackings, car chases and a manhunt. Police say two men robbed a medical clinic in Konawa early Tuesday. During that robbery the men shot one victim and beat another. The two crooks then fled to Maud where they robbed a gas station and a church. Finally the pair ended up in Tecumseh where they got into a shootout at a small pharmacy.
The two suspects then split up. One man Robert Cardenas stole a car and led police on a high speed chase that ended on Highway 9 south of Lake Thunderbird.
The second suspect Jason Masieo fled the pharmacy on foot. That sparked a massive manhunt. Search planes and dogs were brought in to help. Check points were even set up along the roads leaving town.
The suspect was eventually caught just a few blocks from the pharmacy.
