Little Jr., 34, was jailed for violating probation on a 2014 conviction of making meth. He was arrested without incident.

Little escaped from the jail on Friday by breaking out of a window and using bed sheets to rappel down. He escaped along with Michael Bryan Chaplin, 31, jailed on two counts of grand larceny and four counts of burglary; and Matthew Daniel Chaplin, 28, jailed on three counts of larceny, possession of methamphetamine, card theft and possession of a stolen vehicle.

The men then allegedly stole a truck from a nearby home to flee authorities. The Chaplin brothers were captured after they surrendered at about 9:15 p.m. on Sunday in a home in Goose Creek.
