Jail escapee arrested in Arkansas

MEDFORD, Okla.—A man who escaped the Grant County jail and stole a sheriff’s department truck has been arrested in Arkansas.

Sheriff Roland Hula says Joshua Albright was arrested in Johnson County, Arkansas, about 60 miles east of the Oklahoma state line.

Details of the arrest were not immediately available.

Albright escaped about 5 yesterday morning by climbing out a restroom window and taking the truck which had the keys inside it.

Hula says deputies were about to take Albright to the state Department of Corrections reception center in Lexington when he was allowed to go to the unsecured restroom.

Albright was convicted of tying up a woman and holding her for eight hours while robbing her home.

He was sentenced to two 20-year prison terms.
