The Limestone County Sheriff's Office has captured the inmate that escaped on Tuesday after a caller reported him after he was seen at a liquor store in Jewett.
He identified himself when confronted as Josh Smith. Authorities were able to identify him as escaped inmate Tristan Neason, and he was transported to the Leon County Jail in Centerville.
After his identity was confirmed, he was taken into custody by the Limestone County Sheriff's Office without incident.
Sheriff Wilson would like to express our thanks to the multiple agencies that assisted us during the course of this investigation. Those being, The Limestone County District Attorneys Office, US Marshals Office, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Rangers, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Surrounding counties and the Groesbeck Police Department.
Neason escaped from jail after a scheduled court hearing on Tuesday.
This is not the first time Neason has escaped from authorities. In May of this year, he escaped Groesbeck police custody.
