One of three inmates who escaped a Missouri jail last week by cutting holes in the plaster ceiling of their cells has been captured nearly 1,000 miles away in Wyoming, a county sheriff said.

Christopher Blevins, 37, was taken into custody on Wednesday in Casper, Wyoming, about 950 miles northwest of the Cassville, Missouri, jail where he and fellow inmates Lance Stephens, 29, and Matthew Crawford, 29, escaped on Friday, the Barry County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook.
