ROCK HILL, S.C.---The South Carolina Department of Corrections is reporting that escaped inmate Chucky James Elmore Jr. is back in custody.

According to reports, the Kingsport Police Department in Tennessee received a tip Monday evening that Elmore was at a local hotel. When officers confronted Elmore at the hotel, he fled in a vehicle. He was taken into custody after a chase that ended with Elmore wrecking his vehicle. He was being treated at a hospital for minor injuries.
