One of two inmates that escaped from work release in Brewton was captured on Saturday, and at last report authorities were still searching for second escaped prisoner.

Christopher Blake Moye (pictured right), 27, was tracked by K-9 teams to Wawbeek where he was taken into custody Saturday.

Moye and 27- year old Christopher Ladale Pugh escaped from the barracks at the Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office on Friday.

Pugh was jailed for violation of probation, receiving stolen property and burglary. Moye was jailed on charges of violation of probation and theft of property. Both are expected to face additional charges for the escape.

The Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office, Escambia County (FL) Sheriff’s Office, Escambia County (FL) Road Prison K-9 teams, Flomaton Police and other agencies were involved in the manhunt.

About 5:30 p.m. Friday, the manhunt was centered around railroad tracks at Old Fannnie Road and Welka Road, east of Flomaton and about a half mile north of Alabama-Florida state line.

    Marcie’s comments are a perfect example of how the lawbreakers, convicted criminals and drunks selfish acts take such a toll on the family members. Victim’s and family members have to suffer and live with the aftermath…

    They escaped work release. Their sorry butts don’t want to work. A few years of hard labor in a prison and maybe they’ll get their minds right. No more work release.
