0 Inmate who escaped by breaking through brick wall captured in South Carolina, police say 
 
 LAMAR COUNTY, Ga. - UPDATE: North Augusta Public Safety Officers captured escaped inmate Christopher Carroll on Saturday, Dec. 30 ending a three day man hunt. Carroll escaped from Lamar County Georgia. He Carroll is now at the Aiken County Detention Center. 
 
 We first told you this story on Dec. 18 when we spoke to Lamar County authorities who described Carroll's escape as, "elaborate." 
 
 According to the Lamar County Sheriff’s Office, Carroll was in jail on three counts of obstruction of an officer and theft by receiving stolen property. 
 
 He is from South Carolina and was last seen wearing an orange jumpsuit. 
 
 Lamar County Sheriff Brad White told Channel 2's Tom Jones that Carroll used part of a table to break through a brick wall, then squeezed through an opening in a small storage area and climbed through a small hole in a fence to escape. 
 
 White said the jailers heard some banging and he believes that was Carroll's cellmate clanking the doors for a specific reason. 
 
 "We really believe that the inmate that was in the cell with him was masking the sound," he said.

– It may not have been the sophisticated escapes of the movies, but it worked just the same. Georgia inmate Christopher Carroll is on the run after busting through a shower wall with a metal rod, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Guards thought Carroll was taking a shower in the Lamar County Jail shortly after midnight, but authorities say he instead used the rod he took from a table to make a hole big enough to shimmy through, per WSB-TV and 11Alive. He then vacated the jail itself by squeezing through an access door in a storage area before escaping the premises through a hole in the fence. At that point, Carroll managed to steal a county van, which authorities later found abandoned in his native South Carolina. The state patrol there is now helping in the hunt. Carroll had been in the jail awaiting transfer to prison on three counts of obstruction of an officer and one count of theft by receiving stolen property. The inmate is 5-9 and 165 pounds, but his most telling feature would be the orange prison jumpsuit he was last seen wearing.
