UNION, S.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina inmate who police say used a television antenna in his escape from the Union County Detention Center has been recaptured.
Multiple media outlets reported Wednesday that 18-year-old Solomon Gore of Union was captured a few hours after his escape early Tuesday.
Authorities think Gore used a television antenna to help him clear a fence. Tips led police to a home in Union where Gore was found under a bed around noon.
Gore began a 60-day sentence at the Union County jail on July 13 for giving false information to police and possession of marijuana. He now faces a felony escape charge that carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.
