A Clay County Jail inmate who escaped while performing kitchen duties was recaptured.

Christopher Myers managed to break and door lock and get out of the jail.  U.S. Marshals Service and surrounding law enforcement were called to assist.  With the assistance of an unmanned aerial vehicle technology owned and operated by the Indiana Department of Corrections Myers was spotted just blocks away from the jail.

Myers was returned to the Clay County Jail. He's expected to face further charges after a report is forwarded to the prosecutor's office.
