OAKLAND — A Friendsville woman who escaped from the Garrett County Detention Center Thursday afternoon was apprehended about an hour later on Fingerboard Road, the Garrett County Sheriff’s Office said.
Alisa Marie Shafer, 31, fled the facility about 4;30 p.m., “aided by a design flaw and structural failure at the facility,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Deputies developed information that Shafer had been picked up by a vehicle in the area of Hutton Road. Police located the vehicle and a traffic stop was made on Fingerboard Road where Shafer was taken into custody without incident.
The sheriff’s office was assisted by Maryland State Police, Oakland Police Department, Natural Resources Police and the State’s Attorneys Office.
An investigation is ongoing by the Garrett Bureau of Investigation and additional charges are pending, police said.
Thursday’s incident marks the second time in four months that an escape has occurred from the jail. Deandre Kelly, 29, of Washington, D.C., escaped the facility on Jan. 23. He was subsequently arrested May 2 in the Lynchburg, Va., area by U.S. marshals.
