Multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in recapturing an inmate at the Hardin County Detention Center who ran away during work duty Tuesday morning.

“One of the deputies who was one of the maintenance deputies had taken a couple inmates out to dump trash in the dumpster behind the jail,” said Hardin County Jailer Josh Lindblom. “He was out there, had three inmates out. Well, one of them decided to take off running.”

Kentucky State Police Post Four identified the escapee as Terry Santos Moore.

The deputy radioed for assistance, and Lindblom says a deputy chased Moore for about 3/4 a mile before losing him in the woods behind KSP Post Four.

“It wasn’t long before we put a description out,” Lindblom said. “KSP came out and searched, everybody was out searching, and then they found him at a property on Colyers Lane. KSP was there, sheriff’s office was there, EPD was there, Fish and Wildlife was there. I believe the Greater Hardin County Narcotic Task Force and the jail crews were out there, and he was back in custody that quick.”

The Elizabethtown Police Department says some area schools went on soft lockdowns as a precaution, but Lindblom says Moore was never considered dangerous.

“He was never a danger to the public, and he’s actually in there for Trafficking of Marijuana, which, you know, he’s one of the prisoners that’s actually able to go out and work crews and stuff like that,” Lindblom said. “He’s actually been able to work in the community, so we weren’t worried about him being violent or anything like that stuff, but it’s never a good thing when somebody runs off on you.”

Moore now faces a charge of Second Degree Escape. He is due to appear in a video arraignment hearing Wednesday.
