MASON COUNTY, Ky. —

One escaped inmate from the Brown County Jail has been captured, but another remains at large and is believed to be near the Mason-Bracken County line in Kentucky.

Deputies said Roy Butler and Jerry Cooper broke through a window at the jail Monday night and got over a fence. Advertisement

Investigators say the two crossed the Ohio River in a stolen paddleboat but split up once they got into Dover, Kentucky, which is between Maysville and Augusta, and where the search is focused now.

Deputies found Butler Tuesday, shirtless. He was in jail on drug trafficking charges. Cooper, who is still on the run, is charged with attempted murder.

On Thursday, officials posted there was a potential sighting of Cooper in Dover, Kentucky. This content is imported from Facebook.
