LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
The second inmate who escaped from Brown County, Ohio, and was on the run for a week has been arrested.
It all started Monday, Sept. 15 at the Brown County Jail. Advertisement
One week ago, deputies said Roy Butler and Jerry Cooper broke through a window at the jail and got over a fence.
Investigators say the two crossed the Ohio River in a stolen paddleboat but split up once they got into Dover, Kentucky, which is between Maysville and Augusta, and where the search has been focused for days.
Deputies found Butler the next day. He was in jail on drug trafficking charges. Cooper, who was on the run, is charged with attempted murder.
On Monday night, the Mason County Sheriff's Office said Cooper was arrested in Louisville after being taken there by two people. This
