BARTLESVILLE, Okla. - An inmate that walked away from Oklahoma Department of Corrections custody last week is now back behind bars following his recapture Monday afternoon by area law enforcement and DOC officials. According to Washington County Undersheriff Steve Johnson, Jacob Earl Stevens, 20, was serving time at the Jackie Brannon Correctional Center, a minimum security DOC facility in McAlester, on Friday when he walked away.

Today was the day. He walked right into our guys.” Read More. |
