Austin, Texas law enforcement officials reportedly apprehended Jimmy Causey, the escaped inmate serving a life sentence at a Dorchester County state prison. At the time he was found, SLED officials say he had nearly $50,000 in cash, a semi-automatic shotgun, and four cell phones. State corrections officials say Causey was able to escape after a drone dropped wire cutters onto prison grounds and he fashioned a dummy head in his bunk so as to not alarm prison guards.
