Two men who escaped from a north Florida jail are back behind bars after they were caught by Columbia County's sheriff and two off-duty deputies.
Willie Frank Yawn and Paul Allen Unkle were recaptured outside a convenience store in Lake City after authorities received an anonymous tip.
Yawn and Unkle each were charged with escape and returned to the jail.
Yawn had been held at the jail since February awaiting sentencing for fraudulent use of a credit card, grand theft, dealing in stolen property and violation of probation.  Unkle was arrested on a warrant for failing to register as a convicted felon and subsequently charged with giving false identification to a law enforcement officer.
Yawn and Unkle are accused of escaping through a small vent opening in the cell they shared sometime Thursday or Friday.
