Atlanta ? A handcuffed drug suspect ran out an open garage door at the troubled Fulton County Jail, sparking a brief manhunt months after another inmate fled from the county courthouse and allegedly killed four people.

James Henderson, 25, was recaptured about four hours later with his hands still behind him in plastic restraints, police said.

Thursday’s escape followed the March escape of rape suspect Brian Nichols, who is accused of overpowering a sheriff’s deputy at the Fulton County Courthouse, grabbing her gun and killing the judge overseeing his trial and a court reporter. He’s also accused of killing a sheriff’s deputy and a federal agent after fleeing the courthouse.

Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Nikita Adams Hightower said Henderson was under the supervision of Atlanta police when the escape occurred, but added that an investigation was continuing.

“Every (escape) incident is a serious incident and is of concern to the sheriff,” Hightower said.
