MARSHALL, Ark. - Arkansas deputies say the second inmate who escaped from an Arkansas jail has now been captured.
The Searcy County Sheriff's Office said Sunday that 36-year-old Jason Brannon and 30-year-old Matthew Armstrong escaped from the county jail about 9:10 p.m. Saturday.
Early Tuesday morning, the Searcy County Sheriff's Office posted to Facebook that they captured Matthew Armstrong.
Armstrong was booked into jail March 1 on suspicion of first-degree murder. Deputies say he's a suspect in the shooting death of a 26-year-old woman.
Authorities say Brannon was back in custody Sunday morning. Jail records indicate he's being held on a warrant as a homeless sex offender.
