CHANDLER, Okla. —

 An escapee from the Lincoln County jail is back in custody after walking into a convenience store in Chandler.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. George Brown says Michael Washburn was arrested shortly before 10 Tuesday morning when a witness in the store recognized him and called police.
A clerk in the store said Washburn tried to buy a bag of chips as troopers arrived and arrested him.
Authorities say Washburn was being held on shooting with intent to kill charges and was meeting with his attorney when he ran from the jail about noon Monday.
