Four inmates who escaped a minimum-security housing unit in Chattanooga, Tennessee, are back in custody, just hours after their getaway Saturday, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
The search for the inmates -- William Atkins, Johnny Bryant, Justin Lynn Conner and Trevor Lynn Hall -- began around 5:30 a.m. Saturday when corrections officers with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office discovered the men were missing during a head count.
An investigation revealed the inmates had breached an exterior door, the sheriff's office said in a news release, and scaled the barbed wire fence along the facility's perimeter.
