The second of two Virginia jail inmates who escaped around a week ago has been recaptured, officials say.
Callahan escaped through an unsecure door around 11:15 p.m. April 30, and he put a T-shirt over barbed wire when scaling the fence, according to an affidavit associated with a federal escape charge against him.
The shirt was found bloodied, and Callahan was last seen wearing only blue prison shorts, Deputy U.S. Marshal Danielle Shimchick wrote in the the affidavit. Callahan had arranged for $5,000 to be paid in all to several people so that someone would pick him up, Shimchick wrote. That driver got to the jail around 12:30 a.m. May 1, and waited an hour but left without Callahan, Shimchick wrote, citing a confidential source. The court document does not name that driver.
Jail superintendent Jerry Townsend has said both inmates “manipulated the locking mechanism on the rear exit door,”Callahan was being held at the jail after being indicted on fentanyl-related charges in 2021, according to court records. He has pleaded not guilty.
