One of two prison inmates who escaped a maximum-security prison in December has been charged with first-degree felony escape.

Court documents show Ronald King is facing one count of first-degree escape after somehow breaking out of St. Clair Correctional Facility in Springville on Dec. 4.

King’s case has been bound over to a grand jury.

King was recaptured in Birmingham one day after escaping. A second inmate that escaped, Antwone Wilson, was later arrested in Florida.

A spokesperson for Alabama’s Department of Corrections said the escape is still under investigation.
