Overview
- Authorities recaptured Stevenson Charles, Yusuf Minor, and Naod Yohannes in Broward County, Florida, and returned them to custody after a multistate search.
- Court records say the men detained a Lyft driver for hours, threatened her with violence, and used her credit card to book a short‑term rental in Miramar.
- Investigators used recorded jail phone calls, rideshare data, and license‑plate readers to track the fugitives from Georgia into South Florida.
- All three now face kidnapping and escape counts in addition to their underlying charges, with federal and local agencies coordinating next steps for their return to Georgia.
- Officials say the escape exploited a compromised section of the 30‑plus‑year‑old DeKalb jail; repairs and tighter security rounds are in place as the breach investigation continues.
