33 year old Samantha Malcom was apprehended on Friday by the sheriff's office at a ranch in the county, and was listed in the active housed inmate log as being arrested at 4:30 p.m.

Officers found the white Ford F250 that was originally believed to be the vehicle that Malcom had fled in.

Malcom also escaped with, and is believed to be in a relationship with, Austin Lawrence.

The vehicle was found at the residence it is usually seen at, along with Malcom, who was hiding in a closet at the private residence.

Lawrence is still at large, with the sheriff's office believing he could have fled to Colorado.
