(KAIR)--An Atchison County inmate, who walked away from a work detail in July, is back behind bars.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie said 35-year-old Joseph Dyer, of Atchison, was located Thursday morning in the 13-hundred block of Kansas Avenue in Atchison, where he was arrested for escape from custody.
