The two remaining inmates who escaped last month from the White County Jail are back in custody.

Illinois State Police say they arrested 24-year-old Zachery Shock of McLeansboro late Friday night in Gallatin County.
Troopers say a tip from a local resident led them to track down Shock walking in the middle of Forest Road, south of Equality. He was armed with a loaded handgun at the time of his arrest.

The following evening, the Hardin County Sheriff's Department and the Cave-In-Rock Police Department took 61-year-old Johnny Tipton into custody.

The third inmate, 28-year-old Justin Bray, was caught the day of the escape on June 16th.
