NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two inmates recently escaped from the Henry County jail by prying through the ceiling of their cell.

Inmates Joshua Harris and Ronnie Sharp went through the ceiling, then pried open a skylight on the roof to escape the jail. It is confirmed that they stole a 2006 white Chevrolet four-door truck with a black dump bed from Highway 69 North.

Harris was taken into custody Monday afternoon. Sharp was arrested in Obion County Tuesday afternoon, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

Harris was serving time for violation of sentence and has a history of evading arrest. Sharp was held on multiple charges, including kidnapping and aggravated assault.

TBI offered up to a $2,500 reward for any information that resulted in the arrest of either of the fugitives.
