ELLAVILLE — Two escaped convicts are again in custody after being found early Wednesday morning.

Brad Vanlerberghe and Dewey McCormick were found in Macon County around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday after escaping from the Schley County Jail the night before.  It only took hours for authorities to find the inmates at a home.  The residents are not currently suspected as being involved.

The inmates were discovered missing at 10:00 Tuesday night.  Reports from WALB state authorities as crediting a state truck as providing the get-away vehicle for the inmates.  However, the investigation into the break-out is still underway.

Neither escapee was considered dangerous as they were both being held on non-violent charges.  One was for theft and trespassing, the other a parole violation.

Personnel from the Georgia State Patrol, Macon County, Schley County, Sumter County and the city of Ellaville were involved in the search.
