Nov. 15 (UPI) -- An inmate in Louisiana was recaptured overnight Friday, a little more than two days after he escaped and six months after 10 men broke out from another jail in the state.

Cecil Michael Stratton, 46, of Morgan City, previously escaped from jails in 2005 and 2009.

He was been booked in the Berwick Police Department jail on Wednesday.

Stratton allegedly threw a chemical substance at a police officer's face. At the time "jailers were securing inmates during lockdown procedures," the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Department said in a statement Thursday.
