Sheriff Robert Beegle said Ernest Roach, 31, was arrested and returned to sheriff’s custody after deputies spotted him in a vehicle on Ohio 7. Roach was placed in the Meigs County Jail, and he will stay there, Beegle said.
Roach had been placed in the Middleport Jail as a county prisoner. He escaped Aug. 16 by prying the lock off an exterior door and climbing over a fence.
Middleport was holding Roach in the jail for Sheriff Robert Beegle on charges of aggravated menacing and felony fleeing. He is also facing pending charges in West Virginia, and Beegle said the county grand jury will likely return an indictment for escape.
Beegle said Roach has been housed in the Meigs County Jail, Washington County Jail and in Middleport’s jail since he was first taken into custody on July 9, but will remain in the county jail until all charges against him are resolved.
Roach was removed from the county jail and moved to the Washington County Jail in Marietta because of a conflict with another inmate, Beegle said.
