UPDATE: Inmate that escaped transport to Bowling Green arrested in Washington

SEATTLE – An escaped inmate that evaded custody at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport while being transported to Bowling Green has been apprehended.

Warren County sheriff Brett Hightower confirmed Wednesday 28-year-old Sedrick T. Stevenson was picked up by law enforcement in Seattle, Washington.

Hightower says Stevenson will be lodged at the King County Jail.

Last month, a manhunt began for Stevenson after Port of Seattle Police say he broke free from a contracted agent while being transported to Bowling Green.

Officials with the airport state Stevenson and agents were in the middle of the check-in process at the airport on May 4 when the inmate fled the ticket counter and boarded a northbound light rail train.

At the time, agents chased after Stevenson but were not able to capture him.

According to authorities, Stevenson was wanted on two active warrants.

Police say on the first warrant, Stevenson is wanted for failure to appear for a jury trial on charges of first-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, third-degree assault on a police officer or probation officer, possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), trafficking in marijuana – less than 8 ounces, first offense, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, resisting arrest, third-degree criminal mischief and possession of an open alcohol beverage container in a motor vehicle.

On the second warrant, police say Stevenson is wanted for failure to appear for a jury trial on charges of possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

News 40 will provide additional details as they are released.
