The sixth of six inmates who escaped from a Tennessee prison was caught Wednesday in Forsyth County.
David Wayne Frazier, 54, was being held on charges of aggravated robbery and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Officials considered him dangerous, the Cocke County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook.
Frazier and five others escaped Cocke County Jail Annex in Newport about 1:30 p.m. on Christmas Day. They reportedly removed a leaky toilet, crawled through a hole left in the wall and scaled a 10-foot fence, deputies posted.
The other five inmates were recaptured within a day.
Frazier was located in the parking lot of the BP gas station located at 901 Bufford Highway. He had been camping in the wooded area behind the store, deputies said.
Frazier is being held at the Forsyth County Jail and will be extradited to Tennessee after a waiver is signed, ABC News reported Wednesday.
