An escaped Roane County inmate is back in custody and charges are pending.

The Roane County Sheriff’s Office says an inmate, 29 year-old Benjamin Johnson, at the Roane County Detention Facility escaped on Saturday.

Officials say Johnson escaped by climbing over the facility’s recreation yard fence, which resulted in injury due to the razor wire.

K-9 units and a drone found Johnson in a wooded area in Kingston.

RCSO jail records indicate he has been in custody since October 2nd on several drug and firearm charges.
