Authorities in Mississippi said Wednesday that a convicted killer has been recaptured a day after he escaped from prison. They had warned the public earlier that Drew Johnson, 33, could be "desperate" and "very dangerous."
The Mississippi Department of Corrections said Johnson was captured "in an area near the South Mississippi Correctional Institution (SMCI), where he escaped on Tuesday afternoon." SMCI is located near the town of Leakesville.
In a Facebook post Tuesday night, the George County Sheriff's Office urged the public to be cautious. "He will be desperate and very very dangerous. Call your family and alert them. Send messages to them and get responses. People tend to be more generous during Christmas and let their guard down. Be vigilant and be careful," the statement said.
Authorities in Mississippi are searching for a convicted killer they say escaped from prison Tuesday who they say is "desperate."
