LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas — The man who escaped Liberty County Jail Friday has been captured, according to deputies.
The Liberty County Sheriff's Office posted to Facebook that Shawn Jordan had escaped jail Friday evening after being booked on June 30 for charges of manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
Officials told KHOU 11 that he had his pants ripped off after jumping a fence. Less than an hour after posting his escape, they updated it and said he was captured.
According to officials, Jordan was found about 800 to 1,000 feet away from the jail after Baytown police used bloodhounds to follow his scent to nearby railroad tracks.
