Kentucky State Police say an escaped inmate is now back in custody.

23-year-old Robert W. Wilson escaped from the Hardin County Detention Center in Elizabethtown last Friday.

Wilson was being moved from the old facility to the facility on US-31W at the time of his escape. State Police say a Detention Center sergeant left Wilson unattended in a chair and the door unlocked when he went to retrieve Wilson's belongings.

When the sergeant returned, Wilson was gone.

Wilson was serving time for 2nd degree rape.
