Two Clayton County schools were temporarily placed on lockdown Tuesday afternoon due to an escaped prisoner in the area, police said.
Lovejoy High School and Lovejoy Middle School were the two schools affected.
Georgia Corrections officials said inmate Steven Bone walked away from an outside maintenance detail at Love Joy Regional Park. Bone began a 20-year sentence for cruelty to an elderly person in 2004.
He was captured before schools let out for the day, local police said.
