RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Members of multiple law enforcement agencies teamed up to track down an inmate from the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center who reportedly walked away from a Murfreesboro work detail on Friday.

According to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, Matthew Kennamer, 41, of Murfreesboro, was last seen around 1:15 p.m. on Friday, March 24, working on lawn care at the detention center grounds in the 900 block of New Salem Highway.

Officials said Rutherford County deputies, Murfreesboro police officers, Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) troopers, and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) officers searched the area, with the help of drones, K9s, and a THP helicopter.

“We don’t feel like the public is in danger,” Rutherford County Sheriff Mike Fitzhugh said.

Shortly before 4:45 p.m. on Friday, authorities announced Kennamer had been taken into custody following a three-hour search.

According to authorities, Kennamer was found at a home about two miles from the sheriff’s office along New Salem Highway.
