An air and ground search later continued and they eventually found 35-year-old Boatman and he was arrested for escape and a parole violation.

Police kept searching and found the dog that was with the two men, which fled into a badger hole. As they were trying to get him out, police said they heard Morrow screaming from inside the hole.

After an hour and a half Morrow was rescued and taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

Morrow also had a parole violation warrant and police said his charges are pending.
