2nd man arrested in probe of prison chief's death


2nd man arrested in probe of prison chief's death

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Authorities say a second white supremacist prison gang member whose name surfaced during an investigation into the slaying of Colorado's prisons chief has been arrested.

El Paso County sheriff's officials say Colorado Springs authorities arrested Thomas Guolee around 5:30 p.m. Thursday. He was being held without bond for a parole violation.

Investigators have said Guolee isn't a suspect in the shooting death of Colorado Department of Corrections head Tom Clements, but his name and that of fellow 211 Crew member James Lohr came up during the investigation. Lohr was arrested in Colorado Springs last week after a short chase and is now being held on charges including vehicular eluding.

Evan Ebel (EE'-bul) is the only suspect that has been named in Clements' death. Ebel later died in a shootout with Texas authorities.

1. I keep reading the title as "prison chef."

And I keep thinking, "Prison food is probably bad, but..."

3. You're not the only one. Not the past few days, but when the news of the shooting first happened...

... I was seeing 'chief' as 'chef' also quite a few times.
Maybe because the 'i' is skinny and when quickly scanning the eye doesn't register it very well.

2. It may have been inevitable that he'd get killed, but I wish Ebel was alive to give information.

Has anything come out to show that this 211 acted alone, or if they were associated with other gangs?
