Escaped Atmore Prison Inmate Recaptured
August 17, 2009
An inmate that escaped over the weekend from an Atmore prison is back behind bars after being arrested this afternoon in Mobile.
Officials say Devin Nalls, 35, escaped from the J.O. Davis/Fountain Correctional Facility in Atmore. They discovered him missing during a routine check at 9:10 Saturday night. He was seen at about 7:00 p.m.
Nalls was located Monday afternoon in Mobile. He was taken into custody just after 3:00 this afternoon by U.S. Marshals and officials from the Alabama Department of Corrections after a traffic stop near I-65 amd Highway 90.
Bloody clothes were found near a razor wire fence; officials believe Nalls was cut by the razor wire as he climbed the fence. Tracking dogs from the prison were able to follow Nalls’ scent to Highway 21, where officials believe he was picked up by a car.
About 8:00 Sunday night, authorities received a tip that Nalls was seen at the Bay Minette Walmart and was being driven to Atmore by someone in a black 1997 Lexus ES300. The car was reported to have damage to the passenger side tail light. Atmore Police were unable to locate the vehicle in Atmore.
Nalls sometimes uses the aliases Michael Foster and Devon Miller.
Nalls was serving 20 years for a breaking and entering a vehicle in Mobile County.

HOW ABOUT KEEPING THEM THERE YOU HAVE A TRUCK GOING AROUND THE FENCE BUT I GUESS THEY JUST MISSED THAT HUH!!! WAY TO GO DEPT. OF CROOKS I MEAN DOC
could’ve been more to the charges he was arrested on. probably pled out on lesser charge of B&E. something to consider before feeling to bad.
20 years for breaking and entering. what does he get now for escape, life?
i dont feel as though i am a “softy” on criminals, etc…however, it just seems to me that 20 years is a mighty loooong time to give someone for a B&E of a vehicle….surely, there had to be something more that he was convicted of!!??!!
