An escaped inmate was captured early Thursday morning, thanks to a resident with a handgun and a Jack Russell terrier. Benjamin Clarence Crapse escaped a prison work detail Wednesday afternoon, leading law enforcement on an overnight hunt that ended less than a half mile from the Bulloch County landfill, from where Crapse fled during a lunch break, said Bulloch County Correctional Institute Warden Chris Hill. Bulloch County Sheriff Noel Brown said Deerfield subdivision resident John Jenkins let his Jack Russell terrier out around 8 a.m. Thursday when the dog started barking at Jenkins' shed.
