Another inmate on the loose in North Georgia

For the second time in two days, an inmate has escaped in North Georgia.

According to the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office, Bryan Gary Duke, 49, was on a work detail at the county office when he walked out a side door.

Employees found Duke’s orange jumpsuit by the door, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported.

Duke received a five-year sentence in April for theft by receiving, giving false information and obstructing a police officer.

On Monday, authorities captured an inmate who escaped from the Floyd County courthouse after a 10-hour search.
