The inmate who was put on TBI's most wanted list after he ran out of the Jefferson County (Tenn.) Jail is back in custody.
Gregory Atkins, 28, ran out of the jail on April 16th while being led from solitary confinement to a booking office so he could use a phone.
Deputies in Hawkins County arrested Atkins Tuesday night during a meth lab bust.
The deputies brought Atkins back to Jefferson County Wednesday morning.
Atkins is suspected of making meth labs in Jefferson County and investigators say he's run from police before.
His escape in Jefferson County cost one jailer his job. The sheriff suspended another jailer and gave a written reprimand to a third jailer.
