Late this afternoon Coffee County Sheriff Scott Byrd and members of Coffee County Sheriff Department received information of the escaped prisoner location. Coffee County Sheriff Deputies responded to the area. The suspect was apprehended after Coffee County Sheriff Deputies placed their K-9 on the track. After about 2.5 miles of tracking the suspect was apprehended. The suspect was found taking a break from the heat under a tree.
The apprehension was about 5 miles from the Elba Work Release center.
