Second Escaped Arkansas Inmate Captured

Jatonia Bryant, held on probable cause of capital murder, was apprehended days after fellow escapee Noah Roush, marking the end of a manhunt sparked by an inaccurate head count at the jail.

Jatonia Bryant, the second inmate who escaped from an Arkansas county jail, has been captured.
Bryant and another inmate, Noah Roush, were discovered missing from the jail but had actually escaped 36 hours prior due to an inaccurate head count by jail personnel.
Bryant was being held on probable cause of capital murder, while Roush was being held on probable cause for residential burglary and theft of property.
Roush was apprehended earlier, and both inmates have now been returned to the detention center.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has launched an internal investigation into the escape and plans to bring criminal charges against anyone who assisted the inmates.
