An inmate on the run for three days after escaping from a Walker County jail was captured by authorities at a home in southwest Houston early Friday.

A phone tip led authorities to Trent De'Ray Archie, 29, who overpowered three jailers to escape Tuesday, said Deputy U.S. Marshal Alfredo Perez, a spokesman for the agency's Houston office, which aided in Archie's arrest.

Archie's mother, Jackie Archie, was also arrested. She is accused of hindering his apprehension.

Trent Archie was found in the 8800 block of Neff around 1 a.m. When authorities arrived at the residence, Archie ran out the back door but was apprehended about 600 yards from the home with the assistance of the Houston Police Department's helicopter air support unit, Perez said.

"We knew he (Archie) was a runner, so we took appropriate action and set up a perimeter," Perez said.

It was unclear what Archie's relationship was with the residents of the home on Neff.

Marshals previously captured Archie in February. At the time, Archie was free on an appeals bond for a 2004 murder conviction that was overturned five years later but was being sought by authorities for a sexual assault allegation and a narcotics violation.

He was found at a Montgomery County residence where he attempted to escape through the back door, Perez said.

After Friday's arrest, Texas Rangers and Walker County sheriff's deputies took Archie to appear before a court magistrate in Montgomery County, where he remains in jail.

Archie's girlfriend, Latoya Marsha Wright, 27, of Livingston, was charged with facilitating his escape by providing a getaway car. She was arrested Wednesday.

Wright, whose bail was originally set at $1 million, was free on a reduced personal recognizance bond of $7,500 as of Friday afternoon, according to officials with the Walker County District Clerk's Office.
