The search for an escaped Hamilton County Jail inmate came to an end late Monday afternoon.
Anthony Labron Bell, 29, evaded capture for about 35 hours after escaping from Erlanger Health System wearing a green hospital gown, barefoot and in handcuffs.
Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and Chattanooga Police Department personnel, along with the U.S. Marshals Service, found Bell in the North Germantown Road area just after 5 p.m., sheriff’s office Chief Deputy Austin Garrett said.
Garrett declined to say exactly where Bell was located.
Bell was wearing a grey undershirt and black sweatpants. His handcuffs were still on his wrists, though the connecting chain had been cut.
