BUTLER COUNTY, Ohio — A 27-year-old man who escaped was arrested Wednesday hiding in a camper in Preble County, according to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.
He was charged with escape, a third-degree felony, and aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony. The sheriff's office was searching for him after he escaped earlier this month.
According to court records, Moore was placed on probation for five years starting in November 2024. He most recently missed a meeting with his probation officer in April, court documents say.
On June 4, Moore was arrested and charged with escape. He was released on an own recognizance bond on July 1, according to court records.
Records then show Moore was scheduled for a hearing tied to his probation violation on August 12; that hearing was rescheduled for August 19 and Moore failed to appear.
A warrant for his arrest was then issued on September 16, court records show.
