MANCHESTER, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say they've captured a man in Indiana who escaped from a county jail in northeast Iowa.

The Delaware County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday that Timothy Reynolds was captured in Lafayette, Ind. The U.S. Marshal's Service and Indiana authorities arrested the 20 year old without incident while he was hiding in a basement crawl space.

Reynolds escaped from the Delaware County Jail in Manchester on Nov. 18. Authorities say he assaulted a jailer and stole his sport utility vehicle during the escape.

Reynolds will be held in Indiana pending extradition back to Iowa.
