One of the four detainees who escaped from a jail in central Georgia on Oct. 16 has been captured and put back behind bars.
On Oct. 26, U.S. Marshals arrested 29-year-old Chavis Stokes and returned him to Bibb County Detention Center in Macon, Georgia. Stokes was one of four inmates who escaped on Oct. 16. As of Oct. 27, the other three escapees, 24-year-old Marc Anderson, 37-year-old Johnifer Barnwell, and 52-year-old Joey Fournier were still at large.
Anderson was identified as a Black male with dreadlocks. Barnwell is a Black male with braids, and Fournier is a White male with gray hair and blue eyes. He is the only one of the four escapees charged with murder.
Around 6 a.m on Oct. 16, the jail staff noticed a break in the prison fence, and video revealed that the men had escaped through a window in a second-floor dayroom and cut the fence.
Video footage also showed a blue Dodge Challenger arriving outside of the fence at 3:30 a.m., and that someone appeared to be tampering with the fence. The person was seen leaving items inside the fence, as authorities believe the items were used by the inmates to help them escape.
