Cops have recaptured a convicted felon who was in jail in Tangipahoa Parish, but walked away from his work release job.
"Wilson is in custody!" TPSO posted overnight.
The Sheriff's office had announced yesterday that 42-year-old Donald Ray Wilson was seen leaving his job site in the 51000 block of Highway 51 in Tickfaw.
"Wilson is in a program that allows select Department of Corrections inmates to work jobs with partner businesses outside of the jail."
TPSO says Wilson is serving time for a parole violation as a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He will now face having his parole revoked and new charges for escaping.
