Around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, authorities and a K9 officer were able to take Justin J. Dietrich, 35, into custody. Officials did not provide a location.
Dietrich was not cooperative, deputies say, so a K9 officer was used to assist in the apprehension.
Dietrich was taken to the hospital before being returned to the Brown County Jail.

The escape itself and charges related to those who assisted Dietrich during his escape or aiding him for the last two days is still under investigation.

The remainder of the facility is operating as normal.
Dietrich was previously held on charges of making and delivery of amphetamines and fentanyl, intending to deliver amphetamines’, maintaining a drug trafficking place, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, alter identity marks as well as fraud.
