Two others caught after Nashville jail escape

 

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Three inmates, two with artificial limbs, escaped from jail by squeezing through an 8-inch gap onto the roof and using bed sheets to descend three stories.

 

Two were captured Monday.

 

William Clay Bohanan, 40, Berl Keith McKinnie, 38, and Billy Leo Potts Jr., 39, fled Saturday night from a special needs cell at the medium- and maximum-security jail in Nashville.

 

Left behind in the inmates' beds were dummies made by stuffing newspapers into jail-issued orange jumpsuits, authorities said.

 

McKinnie has a prosthetic foot and Potts a prosthetic leg. McKinnie was caught by the U.S. Marshals Service in north Nashville late Monday night about two miles from the jail.

 

Bohanan -- awaiting trial on homicide and arson related to a 1993 fire in which two children died -- was captured about 15 miles east of the jail, officials said.

 

Potts remained at large.

 

McKinnie faced charges related to a police pursuit in a stolen car. He also is a suspect in a homicide case and wanted for an aggravated sexual assault in Chicago. Potts faced charges including robbery and theft.
