Deputies apprehend escapee

Magruder fled from Lincoln County Jail last night

DAVENPORT--An inmate has escaped Lincoln County Jail, and authorities are encouraging the public to call 911 if spotted.

Cody James Magruder, 37, was booked on July 5 on a failure to comply with a Kittitas County felony warrant and a restricting-contact order violation.

As of 9:14 p.m. Monday, the Sheriff's Office believed Magruder could be in the downtown Davenport corridor.

Magruder stands 6'5" and was last seen wearing a brown shirt and orange striped pants.

Lincoln Hospital is currently on a precautionary lockdown. Local high school sports practices were terminated. Davenport soccer and cross country teams began fall practice tonight.

UPDATE: Magruder was apprehended by deputies Tuesday morning in a field north of Mt. View Cemetery Road, which is just west of Davenport.

We'll update with details as they're made available.
