ALBANY, GA (WALB) - 30-year-old Robert McCormick, who was in jail on drug charges, was caught just before noon Friday.

McCormick, who's also known as 'Lil Duck,' was buffing the floors in the Cook County jailhouse hall when he slipped out a side door and got into a waiting vehicle September 19th.

He was picked Friday in Volusia County, Florida and will now be extradited to Georgia and charged with escape.
