An update on this morning's news report of an escaped prisoner from the Huron Jail.

Early this morning, Charles Leroy Beeney escaped from the Huron jail by holding a jailer hostage with a makeshift weapon. The 45-year old then stole a truck in Huron as he escaped. Huron schools were put on lockdown while the search was on.

Authorities put out a description of the stolen vehicle along with an updated mugshot to the media. The public's tips led Sioux Falls police to an area near East 15th Street and South Charlotte Avenue where they found Beeney in the truck. He was taken into custody without incident.
