Margaret Sutterfield said there's one game she loves to play in Marshall, and that's exactly what she was doing late Monday night.

"I was playing Pokemon," she said. "There's not a lot to do here so we play Pokemon. And anyway I stopped by the church, and I went and put the key in the lock, but it seemed like it was already unlocked."

Her husband is the pastor of the church, and she needed to use the restroom.

"So I stepped in and heard something or someone sound like it got up and take off running," she said, "So I just locked the door and went back out."

She knew 31-year-old Matthew Armstrong escaped from the Searcy County Jail Saturday night and was on the run. He is charged with first-degree murder, and is accused of killing 26-year-old Jessica Thornton.

When Armstrong was still on the loose Monday, Sheriff Joey Pruitt said, "With the possibility of the prison time he's facing he could be a desperate man."

After Sutterfield locked the church doors, she decided to call the sheriff's department.

"I gave them the key, and they look around and they can't find him or find anything," she said.

She said law enforcement officials tried to open this door, but discovered it was locked.

"Then they went on the side,and I guess they were shining the flashlights through the window and they seen him in there laying down," Sutterfield said.

Armstrong was found in the Church Of The Lost And Found.

"I always say we're a church of misfits. We don't fit in anywhere," Sutterfield said.

Although Sutterfield said law enforcement officials had to break down the door to the Sunday school room, no one was harmed

"It was an answer to a prayer because we prayed that this would end well. That no one would get hurt," she said.

She said she met Armstrong before at the church years ago.

"He came and then he quit, and then he started coming again, and you could just tell he was in a tug of war," Sutterfield said.

Armstrong is now in custody in the Boone County Jail. He is now facing another charge: first-degree escape from law enforcement, a class A felony.
