Two inmates who escaped from a Frankfort minimum-security prison earlier this week have been caught.
The Messenger-Inquirer of Owensboro reported one inmate, 53-year-old John Alstatt, was arrested outside the Central City Wal-Mart on Thursday without incident.
Muhlenberg County Sheriff Eddie Perry says Alstatt and 28-year-old Robert Fritz on Monday had walked away from the Frankfort Career Development Center. Police in Evansville, Ind., say Fritz was apprehended in that city Tuesday after police spotted him in a stolen pickup truck.
Alstatt had been serving a seven-year sentence on a theft charge. Fritz was serving a 10-year sentence on charges of possession of a forged instrument and fraudulent use of a credit card.
