NATCHEZ &8212; The convict who escaped from Concordia Parish Correctional Facility Monday was recaptured Thursday.

The Adams County Sheriff&8217;s Office captured William R. McCurdy III, 25, on Lost Creek Road around 2 p.m. after receiving information from Concordia Parish, Sheriff Ronny Brown said.

&8220;We got a warrant to search the house for weapons, and we didn&8217;t recover any,&8221; Brown said. &8220;Adams County deputies and a Metro Narcotics agent picked him up, and they did a good job on that.&8221;

McCurdy was extradited from ACSO to CPSO Thursday.

A caller tipped off the Concordia Parish Sheriff&8217;s Office Thursday, according to a statement from the CPSO.

&8220;We contacted the Adams County Sheriff&8217;s Office, and they had (McCurdy) in custody within about 15 minutes,&8221; Investigator Dennis Cowan said in the statement.

&8220;We are very, very grateful to the Adams County Sheriff&8217;s Office for their cooperation and assistance with this case,&8221; Sheriff Randy Maxwell said in the statement.

McCurdy escaped from the correctional facility&8217;s sally port about 6:45 a.m. Monday. He was originally arrested in late June on warrants for simple battery, kidnapping and simple robbery. He now faces an additional charge of simple escape.

Kevin Wiggins, 30, of Ferriday, escaped with McCurdy. He was apprehended within minutes after Monday&8217;s escape, the statement said.
