Story by Megan Forrester • 2h

A Louisiana inmate has been apprehended days after he allegedly escaped from jail by throwing a chemical substance at an officer, according to the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office.

Cecil Michael Stratton, 46, allegedly fled from the Berwick Police Department Jail on Wednesday night while jailers were "securing inmates during lockdown procedures," Berwick police said in a statement.

During a "brief struggle" between Stratton and authorities, a chemical substance was hurled into an officer's face, allowing for Stratton -- and another inmate who has also been recaptured -- to flee, police said.
