An escapee has been extradited back to DeKalb County from Florida where he was captured after breaking out of the jail over a year ago.

27 year old Daniel Trey Hamilton of Jacobs Pillar Road, Smithville is under indictment for escape. His bond is $25,000 and he will be arraigned in DeKalb County Criminal Court on December 11.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said Hamilton was arrested in Fort Myers, Florida after being involved in a traffic accident there one week after his escape from the DeKalb County Jail on November 21, 2017.

Hamilton, 39 year old Jack Mullican, Jr. of Adcock Cemetery Road and 33 year old Bryon Ray Gibbs of Gin Alley, Alexandria all broke out of the jail annex through a door they jimmied open.

Mullican was captured the next morning, November 22, 2017 after being found in an underground water drain near Mapco Express in Smithville. He became trapped there after making his escape.

Gibbs was apprehended Saturday, November 25, 2017 thanks to an alert Alexandria Police Officer, Josh Arnold and a few citizen bystanders. After being confronted, Gibbs resisted and began fighting with Arnold. Citizens who witnessed the scene came to the aid of the officer to help subdue Gibbs. Deputies and detectives of the Sheriff’s Department also responded to provide assistance.

Gibbs was charged by Alexandria Police with resisting arrest and aggravated assault.

All three, Hamilton, Mullican, and Gibbs, were charged and later indicted for escape.

In July, Mullican entered a plea in criminal court to escape and in a separate case for aggravated burglary. He received a two year sentence for the escape and five years for the burglary to run consecutively for a total of seven years. He must serve two years at 30% for the escape but the remaining five years will be suspended to supervised probation. He was given jail credit of 259 days.

Gibbs also entered a plea in July to escape, aggravated assault (of an Alexandria Police Officer) and aggravated burglary (separate incident). He received a two year sentence for the escape to serve in the Tennessee Department of Correction. Gibbs also got a four year sentence in each of the other two cases on TDOC probation. The terms are to run consecutively. He was given jail credit from November 25, 2017 to July 17, 2018.
