One of the two Pike County inmates who walked away from a work detail is now back in custody after spending over a month running from law enforcement.

 

42-year-old Larry Foster, of Burnside, was booked into the Pike County Detention Center on Monday evening.

 

Foster had previously been serving a 10-year sentence for theft charges out of McCreary County. He now additionally faces a charge of second-degree escape, which is punishable by up to five additional years, which would be added onto his sentence.

 

Foster was part of a jail work crew on June 16th. He and 30-year-old Logan Hall, of Mousie, managed to slip away during that time. Hall currently remains at large.

 

Anyone with any information that could assist police is asked to call the Kentucky State Police at 606-433-7711.
