FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) – An Adair County escapee was recaptured on Tuesday (May 5) by the U.S. Marshals Service, according to the Adair County Sheriff’s Office.

Frank Potter, 28, escaped the Adair County Jail on Saturday (May 2) and eluded authorities for three days.

He was captured hiding in a Fayetteville attic on Tuesday, authorities said.

“We would like to thank all of the agencies involved for their time and effort,” the Adair County Sheriff’s Office said.

In order to escape, Potter climbed through a hole he made in the chain-length fence in the workout area of the jail. Authorities said Potter then scaled two fences topped with razor wire.
