A Campbell County Detention Center inmate who walked away from work duty in Newport Thursday morning was found the same evening in Ohio, said Jailer Jim Daley.
Kentucky State Police learned that 62-year-old Teddy Bruce Murphy’s son lives in Clinton County, so they worked with the local police department there to see if Murphy was at his son’s house, Daly said.
Sure enough, Murphy was there, and was taken into custody Thursday evening.
“He’s looking at 1-5 more years now,” Daley said.
Murphy had been on work detail along Central Avenue in Newport when he disappeared around 5:30 a.m., police told LINK nky.
