An escaped prisoner has been arrested in the US state of Georgia after guards caught him trying to sneak back into the jail.
Hours after guards raised the alarm when a jail door was found unlocked early on Saturday, Harry Jackson, 25, was spotted trying to slip back into the prison with 14 packs of cigarettes allegedly stolen from a nearby shop, authorities said.
Sheriff Tommy Gregory said Jackson had opened the door to the exercise yard and climbed an outer fence to escape. Officers have alleged that Jackson walked a few hundred yards to a convenience store, took the cigarettes, and returned to the prison.
Jackson was in jail in Camden County in southeast Georgia for charges including possession of a controlled substance and violating probation.
He now faces new charges of breaking out of jail and burglary.
I wonder why he went back into the prison.
