Authorities say an escaped inmate who was one of seven people charged in the shooting death of a Georgia Lottery winner is back in jail.
Ben Hill County Sheriff Bobby McLemore tells WALB-TV (bit.ly/1UGkVE2) 28-year-old Earnest Anthony Holcomb was found underneath a house in the south Georgia town of Ocilla Thursday night.
McLemore said he escaped from the jail Wednesday, and information from a tipster led to his capture. Authorities say Holcomb now faces a felony escape charge.

The attack came two months after Burch won $434,272 from hitting the Fantasy 5 jackpot.
All the suspects were charged with malice murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery and possession of a firearm during a crime.
