Kristopher John Carver, a 24-year-old Muscogee County Jail inmate who escaped early Sunday, was captured late Thursday in Columbus, officials said.

Muscogee County Sheriff's officials said Carver was in a group of inmates when he ran from a correctional officer around 2 a.m. Sunday as he walked from the Columbus Stockade to the jail to start breakfast. Sheriff's deputies spotted him just after 10 p.m. Thursday in the area of 43rd Street and Third Avenue.

"When the officers saw him and approached him, he took off on foot," said Maj. Randy Robertson. "There were no weapons involved."

No one was injured, the major added.

Carver pleaded guilty to drug and traffic charges in 2007 and was sentenced to six months in jail, followed by four and a half years on probation, court officials said.

In September, Carver was sentenced to a year’s probation after he pleaded guilty to obstruction of an officer, records state.

Court officials said Carver was arrested May 4 on charges of Violation of the Georgia Controlled Substance Act, possession of drug related objects and a weapons charge. He made bond the following day, though he was arrested again on May 24 on traffic charges. His bonding company then surrendered the bonds it posted for Carver’s May 4 arrest.
