The inmate who escaped from the Nowata jail Monday night after a door was left unlocked has been captured. Caleb Epple was apprehended around 1:40 this afternoon. Nowata County Sheriff Mirta Hallett confirmed that Epple was arrested in the City of Nowata.

Reports claim Epple was found only a few blocks from the jail. Sheriff Hallett says this mistake by the jail will lead to more extensive training.
