The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said 23-year-old Calvin Lee Patterson was last seen at approximately 4 a.m. Tuesday at the Stringfellow Unit.
In a later update on Facebook, BCSO said Patterson was back in custody. He was reportedly tracked by TDCJ scent dogs and found approximately 2.5 miles from the prison.
Patterson is a probationer out of Harris County who is serving a nine-month sentence for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to TDCJ. He will now also face felony escape charges, officials said.
Authorities did not immediately release further details about how Patterson managed to escape
