One Of Two Escapees From Jail In Union County Recaptured

Union County Sheriff's Office

Union County Sheriff's deputies say one of the two men who escaped from the West Central Community Correctional Facility earlier this week has been recaptured. 

27-year-old Cody Ray was caught driving a stolen car early Wednesday in Hamilton County. 28-year-old Joshua Hammond remains at large. The facility houses low-level drug offenders.  Authorities say both escaped through an open door and climbed a fence. The duo faces escape and other charges. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
