ESCAPEE CAPTURED

JACKSON, Tenn. - A man wanted by the Department of Correction is now in custody.  An arrest warrant had been issued for Tracy Bernard Mann.  Mann is a TDOC inmate who was serving time for theft of property.  He was sent to Texas on a detainer and was inadvertently released by that state.

Mann was notified that he needed to turn himself in, but he refused.  TDOC Internal Affairs investigators, with assistance from the Jackson police department and the public, tracked Mann to an area near Jackson and made the arrest.

Jackson police also charged Mann with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.  He is being held in the Madison County Jail pending transfer to West Tennessee State Penitentiary.
