FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — After nearly a week on the lam, a murder suspect who slipped from his shackles and bolted from a crowded South Florida courtroom in a meticulous escape plot involving seven accomplices was captured at a nondescript motel, authorities said Thursday.

The seven people who investigators say assisted Dayonte Resiles, 21, include a pregnant teen who staged secretive three-way jailhouse phone calls to plan the caper and an older cousin who provided Resiles with a wig and colored contact lenses to use as a disguise. All seven were arrested on escape and other charges.

Resiles, accused of killing a woman whose family founded the Halliburton oil services firm, was ordered held without bond during a court appearance Thursday. Broward County Judge Michael Davis also ordered Resiles jailed in isolation, including no contact with other inmates and no outside communication except with attorneys.

After Resiles briefly objected that the communications restrictions were “unconstitutional and unfair” because his family couldn't monitor his mental condition, the judge ordered a mental health evaluation as well.

Resiles was captured without incident late Wednesday at a Days Inn in West Palm Beach, about an hour's drive north of the Fort Lauderdale courthouse from which he escaped.

The drama first unfolded last Friday morning on the fourth floor of the downtown Broward Courthouse, where Resiles was supposed to attend a hearing on whether he will face the death penalty for the 2014 slaying of Jill Halliburton Su. Su, 59, was bound at the hands and feet and stabbed multiple times in her Davie, Fla., home during what police say was a burglary attempt. She was a grandniece of the Halliburton Co. founder.

Seated in a jury box with other inmates, Resiles suddenly leaped over a low courtroom wall, eluded the grasp of courtroom bailiffs and sprinted down a hallway toward a set of stairs, witnesses said. Leaving his shackles and jail jumpsuit behind, surveillance video showed he bounded through a door to the outside and disappeared.

Investigators immediately assumed he must have had help and began making a series of arrests.

No one was injured in the escape, which triggered new security measures at the Broward County Courthouse, including a requirement that armed deputies accompany maximum-security inmates into courtrooms rather than unarmed bailiffs.
