On the department’s website listing escapees, “Returned” in green letters appeared next to Mr. Dishman’s name. He was one of several outstanding escapees from the prison system, including one, Veal Lee, who escaped the year before Mr. Dishman.

Details on what other charges he may face were unavailable on Monday.

The passage of time was reflected in the differences between Mr. Dishman’s prison and booking photos. The dark beard, mustache and long hair from the 1980s were gone; his updated photo showed a balding man of 60.

He was arrested in a duplex in a section of Springdale that a local resident described as a “quiet keep-to-yourself-kind-of-street.”

Arther Galloway, who lives across the street from where Mr. Dishman was arrested, said he was at church with his wife on Sunday when the police came around 11:35 a.m. and did not learn what happened until he read the newspaper on Monday. “It’s unreal,” he said.

He said he saw a few police cars on Monday at the house, which is on a horseshoe-shaped street near a school.

He said the homeowner lived at the duplex with a longtime friend and that they both had health issues. The homeowner could not be reached to comment.

He described them as “nothing but nice” and “people you would be thankful to have as neighbors.”
