Investigator Alan Wilburn tells WTVA TV (http://bit.ly/p0d9ov ) deputies arrested 27-year-old Albert William Bagwell in the southern part of the county just after 4 p.m. Sunday. Wilburn says a resident recognized Bagwell from a mugshot which was broadcast on the local news.

Bagwell walked off a work detail Friday afternoon around 1 p.m. He was already in jail on grand larceny charges, but Wilburn said escape will now be added to the list.
