MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says authorities have recaptured an inmate who escaped a prison in Muskogee County.

Authorities say prison officials found 40-year-old Dave O'Malley on Sunday night on a road near the Jess Dunn Correctional Facility in Taft. He had last been seen at the prison at about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday.

O'Malley was convicted of burglary and robbery in Tulsa County. Authorities say he wasn't scheduled for release until 2022.
