Six Tennessee inmates escaped through hole in wall where toilet was removed

(CNN) The sixth and final inmate who escaped from a jail in Tennessee by ripping a toilet from a wall and climbing to freedom through the hole has been captured, authorities said Thursday.

David Wayne Frazier, 54, was taken into custody Wednesday in Forsyth County, Georgia, some 190 miles from the Cocke County Jail Annex in Newport, where he and five other inmates had escaped on Christmas morning.

Frazier had been in the lockup awaiting trial for aggravated robbery and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. He will be extradited from Georgia back to Cocke County.

The county sheriff's office told CNN affiliate WATE that the inmates escaped after a water leak occurred behind a stainless steel toilet attached to a wall. The bolts holding the unit in place had rusted out, and prior plumbing repairs had weakened the concrete. The inmates vandalized the toilet, yanked it from the wall and gained access to a hole which led outside of the facility.

"They were able to kick out some concrete that was easily broken along with some plumbing," Cocke County Sheriff Armando Fontes told WATE.
