A man who escaped Thursday from a prison work detail in Metter was captured Friday morning after a homeowner spotted him in her back yard. Brett Michael Sellers, 25, who was an inmate with the Emanuel County Probation Detention Center, "asked for water and a cigarette" after he was apprehended, said interim Candler County Sheriff Blake Hendrix. Sellers didn't get very far after his escape around 1 p.m. Thursday from a North Lewis Street location.
