Escaped inmates

LINDEN, Tenn. (AP) – Authorities say two jail inmates who escaped custody in Perry County have been captured.

Authorities also said Raymond D. Gibson and Michael William Brown escaped jail on Friday night.

Both were found in a briar patch field around noon Saturday.

Officials said protocol was not followed, which may have allowed the inmates to escape through an unsecured gap at the bottom of a chain link fence.

Two employees have been placed on administrative leave without pay pending an investigation.
