FORREST CITY, Ark. (AP) – Authorities say they’ve recaptured an inmate who
escaped the St. Francis County jail in eastern Arkansas on Christmas Eve.

The St. Francis County Sheriff’s Office says 29-year-old Paul McGee was
apprehended early Thursday after receiving a tip about his whereabouts.

McGee was being held on charges of first-degree forgery, residential burglary,
first-degree criminal mischief and theft of property.

Authorities previously told Little Rock television station KATV that McGee
escaped by damaging a door to the jail’s kitchen and removing it by its hinges.
