Jail escapee caught eight months later

A jail escapee, who spent eight months on the run, is back behind bars.

Lonnie Coy was arrested Sunday night at a home in Grayson County. Police say surveillance cameras at the Hardin County Jail caught Coy and another man walking out of the front doors of the jail in November. They managed to dig a hole and crawl out under a fence.

Police caught the other man not long after. Coy is now facing a long list of charges including escape.
