Fourth escaped Bibb County inmate captured near Stockbridge
Joey Fournier
STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. - Officials have finally tracked down the fourth and final inmate who escaped from the Bibb County Jail last month.
Multiple agencies teamed up for the capture of 52-year-old Joey Fournier of Macon. He was found near Stockbridge just before noon and is expected to be taken back to the jail.
Fournier, who was being held for murder, is one of four inmates who fled from the Bibb County Detention Center in Macon during the early morning hours of Oct. 16. Officials believe the group escaped through a damaged day room window and a cut fence near the oldest part of the facility. It was believed they fled in a Blue Dodge Challenger that was seen in the area before the escape.
