DAVENPORT, Wash. — The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) arrested an inmate on Tuesday that has escaped from Davenport the night before.
LCSO captured 37-year-old Cody Magruder on Tuesday morning on the south of Davenport city limits after witnesses saw him and called the police. Magruder escaped from the Davenport jail on Monday.
Magruder was booked into Lincoln County Jail on multiple felony charges.
According to LCSO, a corrections deputy was walking through the jail at approximately 8 p.m. when two inmates rushed him. An altercation broke out and the deputy ended up breaking his arm.
The two inmates then rushed the communications center in the jail and got into an altercation with a second corrections deputy. One of the inmates was controlled and secured but the other, later identified as Magruder, was able to escape the facility on foot.
Lincoln County deputies immediately began searching for Magruder with assistance from the Spokane County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) and Airway Heights Police Department (AHPD). The U.S. Marshals Service was also called to help with the search.
On Tuesday morning, dispatch received a report of a man matching Magruder's description walking along SR 28 and into a tall field of grass towards a cemetery. The caller reportedly pulled over and watched Magruder drop down into the weeds. Ultimately, officers located Magruder laying in the tall grass and hiding from authorities.
Magruder was arrested and booked back into the Lincoln County jail on multiple felony charges.
