MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities say they've captured another teen who escaped during a mass breakout from a troubled Nashville detention center and that the teen had been living in a vehicle.
Local media reports that U.S Marshals arrested the teen at an apartment complex in nearby Murfreesboro on Wednesday evening.
More than 30 teenagers escaped from Woodland Hills Youth Development Center on night Sept. 1. Two of the teens who escaped remain at large.
Staff initially thought the teens were contained in the yard but called police after they realized offenders were escaping under a weak spot in the fence.
The center has a history of violent clashes, breakout attempts and attacks on guards.
Since the escape, officials at the center have taken extra security measures.
