Inmate who escaped in Anson County captured

MONROE, N.C. -- An inmate who escaped from the Anson County jail has been arrested in Union County.

Sheriff Tommy Allen told local reporters that 19-year-old Demetri Little escaped around 1:30 p.m. Sunday as a door at the jail in Wadesboro was being closed. Little had been on a work crew.

Little was arrested in Monroe a few hours later with a woman deputies said was his girlfriend. Alena Moore is being charged with helping Little in the escape.

Little had been serving a 30-day sentence for a probation violation.

It was not clear if Moore and Little have attorneys.
