A fugitive out of Alabama was captured in Tennessee after he escaped a detention facility while awaiting trial for kidnapping and rape, authorities said Wednesday.
Jeremy Taylor, 49, was hiding in a tent on Robinson Creek Road in Huntland after escaping from the Morgan County Detention Facility in Alabama on Sunday, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee said.
However, his jailbreak was short-lived as deputies captured him just hours later.
Four deputies and a K-9 tracked Taylor down and surrounded the tent before taking the escapee into custody without incident, the sheriff's office said.
