Richardson had been jailed since last September on charges of burglary and petit larceny. He was located just after 9 AM Wednesday morning near the Main Street area of Union was taken into custody.

Richardson's escape marked the 2nd such incident in Union County in the last 5 months, after Paul David Strickland escaped from there last October.
