CHILDERSBURG, Ala. (AP) - Alabama corrections officials say one of two inmates who escaped from a work-release center has been captured.
A Department of Corrections news release says Mark Araujo (ah-RAH’-ho) and Jacob Burnett - both 39 years old - escaped Tuesday night from the Childersburg Work Release Center in Talladega County.
Araujo was found Wednesday in Marshall County at an apartment complex.
Araujo already was serving a 15-year sentence for a 2016 theft conviction. Burnett was sentenced to 18 months in July for burglary.
Araujo had a parole hearing set for September 2019 and Burnett would have reached his end of sentence in December 2019. Both now face charges for the escape and other offenses.
