A Tennessee inmate was captured Wednesday evening just hours after he escaped from the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville.

Law enforcement officers discovered Richard K. Roberts, 36, and his accomplice, Rachel N. McMillan, staying at a lodge in Murray, Kentucky.

Both were taken into custody and will be booked in the Calloway County Jail. Roberts is charged with felony escape. McMillan faces a charge of facilitation of an escape.
