BRYAN COUNTY, Okla. -- One of two escaped inmates from Mack Alford Correctional Center in Stringtown, Oklahoma, is back behind bars.
Department of Corrections officers arrested 52-year-old Jimmy Penn Thursday night in Bryan County. Penn was captured around 11:10 around the railroad crossing on Lemman Hill Road in Colbert. Authorities say a Department of Corrections officer spotted him, caught up to him, and brought him into custody.
Authorities say they received a tip that led them to the area.
Penn was serving a 20 year sentence on drug charges.
He was taken back to the segregated housing unit at the McAlford Correctional Center.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the Bryan County Sheriff's Office, and the Colbert Police Department all assisted.
Officials are still searching the area for 44-year-old Quentin Battle. Both men escaped Tuesday night from the minimal security unit in Stringtown.
