Inmate captured after briefly escaping custody at Laurens County Courthouse
An inmate briefly got away from custody Thursday at noon.
An inmate briefly escaped custody while the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office was in the process of transporting him back to the jail Thursday around noon.
Chief Deputy Stan Wright said the man will face additional charges from briefly getting away from officials at the Laurens County Courthouse.
“He was found close to the courthouse and less than five minutes after he got away,” Wright said. “Dublin Police helped us on this. They were the first ones to get their hands on him and there was a deputy there momentarily.”
According to a public service announcement by the LCSO, the inmate ran away on foot. Laurens County Sheriff Larry Dean thanked the DPD and other law enforcement agencies and officers who responded and assisted during the situation.
