FREDERICK, MD. (WJZ) -- UPDATE: Police have caught an inmate who escaped from a work release facility in Frederick County early Monday morning.
He was located in Martinsburg, West Virginia and taken into custody without incident.
Early Monday morning at around 8:30 a.m., inmates were called to report for work at the Frederick County Adult Detention Center Work Release facility.
One inmate didn't show up, and when they went to his cell they found that items had been put under his bed blanket to form the shape of a body and his cell window was gone.
Surveillance footage shows the inmate, William Glenn Smith, running from the facility at around 8:30 p.m. Sunday night.
There was a physical check and count of all Work Release inmates at 8 p.m. Sunday night, where Smith was seen. There were other visual checks made throughout the night where it looked as if Smith was in his cell.
