MOUNT VERNON, Ga., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Three inmates who escaped from a south Georgia state prison have been recaptured in Oklahoma, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported Wednesday.
A fourth prisoner who fled the medium security Montgomery State Prison in Mount Vernon, Ga., last weekend was arrested Monday in Birmingham, Ala.
The U.S. Marshals Service said the other three men were arrested without incident as they left a grocery store in Marietta, Okla., Tuesday evening.
They escaped Saturday night by cutting through a security fence, prison officials said. They said the men stole a Jeep Cherokee and drove to Birmingham where they tried to rob a resident.
Authorities said one of the inmates was shot during the robbery and left at a convenience store.
Authorities said the three men captured in Oklahoma were Joshua Thompson, convicted of voluntary manslaughter; Joseph Lee Jr., 21, convicted of armed robbery; and Micah Sheer, 22, convicted of aggravated assault and burglary.
The fourth man was Tracy Mullins, 30, who was serving a three-year term for firearms possession.
