Escaped Inmate Captured in Gwinnett
ROME, Ga. (AP) Authorities say a Floyd County Prison inmate who fled from a work detail has been captured in metro Atlanta.
Warden Jeff Chandler says Jack Belcher was taken into custody about 7:40 p.m. Friday in Snellville through a joint effort of the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and Floyd County Prison officials.
Belcher took off Thursday afternoon in a City of Rome Public Works vehicle after asking to use the restoom at the city's water treatment plant. He was serving a sentence for possession of methamphetamine, impersonating another individual and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
