URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) – The second of two escapees from Warren County Jail in south-central Iowa has been arrested.The Des Moines Register reports 29-year-old Darian Crayton was arrested Sunday morning.

According to a news release, Crayton was arrested while at a gas station in Urbandale. He faces several charges, including possession of a stolen vehicle and driving while barred. Crayton will be taken back to Warrant County Jail following his charges in Dallas County. He is being held on $5,000 bail.

Authorities say he and 26-year-old Frank Manders escaped from jail last week by manipulating a cell door lock and descending from the third floor. Manders was found earlier. Crayton had been jailed on charges of driving while barred and failing to appear in court.
