WAGONER, Okla. (AP) — Authorities in Wagoner County say they've captured both inmates who escaped from the county jail after overpowering a guard and locking him in a cell.
Sheriff Bob Colbert says the jailbreak happened at about 9 p.m. Monday. He says 38-year-old Mickey Staggs and 25-year-old Larry Cotton took the jailer's keys after locking him up.
The jailer wasn't seriously injured.
The sheriff says Cotton was arrested without incident Tuesday inside a vacant apartment in south Wagoner. Staggs was apprehended at about noon Tuesday walking in a wooded area near Sperry.
Cotton was awaiting trial on several charges, including possession of a stolen vehicle and endangering others while attempting to elude police officers.
Staggs was also awaiting trial on weapons charges and possession of a stolen vehicle.
