Warren Crime Stoppers presented a $2,000 cash reward on Tuesday to the couple who heard their barking dog, spotted Michael Burham and called in the tip which lead to his arrest Saturday, Erie News Now learned Monday.

The $2,000 from Warren Crime Stoppers is part of $22,000 in reward money offered during the manhunt.

U.S. Marshals and Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers both put up $10,000 each for information leading to Burham's arrest. U.S. Marshals told the couple they will receive its $10,000 reward and said they will help them with the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers reward.

The dog has since received his own rewards - a new collar, bucket of tennis balls, KONG toys and a steak waiting in the refrigerator.

Erie News Now on Sunday talked with the brave couple - Ron and Cindy Ecklund - who, when checking on their barking dog, came face-to-face with the fugitive.

They said it was just a normal day at their home on Jackson Run Rd. in Warren County.

The pair said they were relaxing on their front porch, and Cindy had just gotten home from work.

All of a sudden, their dog Tucker started backing in the woods out back.

"Cindy and I got on the golf cart and started driving down to the creek," said Ron.

For some reason, Tucker wouldn't stop barking.

"She starts walking that way, so I get in the cart to follow her."

Then, it happened. Ron took a look through the window of his golf cart and saw Michael Burham standing up.

"I say, 'Well, what are you doing?,'" said Ron. "He says, 'Camping.'"

From the look of the strange figure, Ron knew exactly who he was.

"I said, 'Cindy, get back in the cart. Let's go,'" said Ron. "I said, 'Okay, have a nice day.' We started driving back, and I said, 'Dial 911.'"

Authorities came to the house, and the rest is history.

"It's just not what you expect to be doing," said Cindy. "When you get home from work, and then suddenly, your driveway is full of people trying to find an escaped prisoner."

According to Ron and Cindy, not all heroes wear capes.

"He's a hero," said Cindy. "We didn't do anything but make a phone call. If he had a thumb, he might have, I don't know."

They both told Erie News Now making the call was what anyone would have done.

Because of it, the Warren community is able to rest at ease now that the manhunt is over.
