James Edward Russell had unwittingly stumbled upon a cabin rented by an off-duty prison guard from Olympic Corrections Center — the very jail Russell had escaped from just hours before (via The Seattle Times). The guard recognized the red jumpsuits of the prison, and a scuffle ensued. Russell was able to run into the woods again but was apprehended a few hours later after officers were alerted to his position. Ultimately, the 39-year-old was returned to jail.

Russell had been transferred to a minimum-security work camp just a day before his escape attempt and had three years left on his sentence. In general, an escape attempt adds at least another year to a sentence, which would then be served at a much higher-security facility. Russell was put under watch, spending 24 hours in his cell while his escape from the work camp was investigated. Little is known about Russell after his ill-fated jailbreak, and he could have been a free man as early as 2015 — given that he didn't knock on any more random cabin doors.
