Late Friday evening, Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten confirmed Myco Fort’s capture.
Near Morgantown’s Northgate area, they captured the fort.
He will face charges of grand larceny, escape, and destruction of county property.
He has been taken to the Adams County Jail.
Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten provided additional information regarding how a man managed to escape from the Adams County Jail earlier Friday.
Myco Fort, 21, managed to flee the scene early Friday morning.
Fort served a jail sentence for burglary. He was acting as a trustworthy person.
Patten told WLBT that he received a call regarding the escape about 3:30 a.m.
He immediately began searching for the suspect and investigating how he escaped.
“Dereliction of duty is why he was able to walk out of this jail,” the sheriff stated.
Patten went on to explain that Fort was able to locate the key to an unmarked police vehicle. He then crashed the unit near 48 Morgantown Rd.
Authorities say Fort fled the scene and headed to the Oakland community across the street, where he was last seen on video.
At 5:30 p.m. on Friday, the sheriff believed Fort was still in the Morgantown area and had set up a one-mile perimeter.
If you have any information about the location of Fort, please call 911 or the Adams County Sheriff’s Office at 601-442-2752.
