Authorities say an inmate who escaped the Jim E., Hamilton Correctional Center in Hodgen is back in custody.
Prison officials say 31-year-old Daryl Cooper was found and arrested Saturday morning in Heavener, about three miles north of Hodgen.
Authorities say Cooper was reported missing after failing to show up for a roll call Friday night. Details of the escape were not immediately released.
Oklahoma Department of Correction online records show Cooper was serving a 2½ year sentence after being convicted in Le Flore County in April of failing to register as a sex offender.
