One man is in police custody after officials said two inmates in Louisville, Kentucky, escaped from a correctional facility by tying together bedsheets and climbing down from the roof.

According to WAVE-TV, Christopher Coelius, 37, and Matthew Johnson, 29, escaped from the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections Community Correctional Center about 9 p.m. Monday. Coelius was captured early Tuesday, but Johnson was still on the run, WHAS reports.

Coelius was booked in July on several felony charges, including criminal trespass, theft and drug possession, WAVE reports. Johnson reportedly was booked later that month on drug-possession charges.

Officials said Johnson is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 155 pounds and has hazel eyes. If you have any information about him, call 502-574-LMPD.
