Danny Ray Bennett, 25, was captured on Caldwell Road in Butts County at 5:19 p.m. by a K-9 unit, according to a tweet by the Georgia Department of Corrections.
Jail records indicate Bennett is serving a five-year sentence at the Burruss Correctional Training Center in Monroe County for a burglary. He escaped during a work detail in Butts County.
At the time of escape, Bennett was not even a year into his sentence. He will face disciplinary charges as a result of his escape, Georgia Department of Corrections spokeswoman Joan Heath told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
