SANDUSKY COUNTY, OH (WTOL) - Both inmates escaped from the Sandusky County Jail Monday were arrested separately on Wednesday.

Mickey Hardy and Jordan Chapman, escaped from the jail Monday. The escape launched a massive search around northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

Hardy was arrested by the US Marshal's on Buckeye and Erie in Toledo and re-booked into the Sandusky County Jail.

A tip led Toledo police to Jordan Chapman, who was hiding in Toledo. Chapman was arrested by Toledo police at about 6 p.m. on Central Avenue near Franklin.

He was housed overnight at the Lucas County Jail. Chapman was arraigned on escape charges in a Lucas County Courtroom Thursday. Chapman pleaded not guilty and the judge set bail at $100,000.

Sheriff Chris Hilton said the two inmates had no help making a run for it, and tells the Fremont News Messenger that faulty wiring allowed a door to remain unlocked.

Sheriff Hilton stresses that no officers helped the pair escape the jail.

Both will likely face additional charges.
