2 escaped inmates, including convicted murderer, found after multi-state manhunt
Two inmates, including a convicted murderer, who escaped from a Virginia prison have been apprehended in Tennessee, authorities said, more than 24 hours after announcing a manhunt on the run. The inmates – identified by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia as Johnny Shane Brown, 51, of Rogersville, Tennessee, and Albert Lee Ricketson, 31, of Abingdon, Virginia – are believed to have escaped from Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority in Abingdon from a leisure center court at around 2.45pm on Thursday. A Washington County emergency alert issued about an hour later warned residents to stay indoors and lock their doors.
