Greene County Escapee Caught Saturday After Escaping Work Detail
44-year-old Rex Allen Gray is back in police custody Saturday after escaping jail during his work detail, according to Greene County Sheriff Pat Hankins.

Sheriff Hankins said Gray was discovered in a trailer on Spice Lane in Greene County Saturday.

Gray first escaped back in June when deputies said he took off on a bicycle during work detail.

Gray was booked into the jail on Jan. 5 on charges of drug court violation, reckless driving, evading arrest, driving on a revoked license-5th offense and resisting arrest.

Gray will now face an addition charge of felony escape.
