DETROIT (WXYZ) — Police say a man who escaped from the Wayne County Jail Wednesday evening is back in custody.

Police identified the man as 26-year-old Tavon Wisdom.

The Wayne County Sheriff's Office says they found Wisdom at his mother's house. Police believe he may have taken a bus there, but they are still trying to confirm how he got to that location.

Wisdom was in custody for domestic violence. Officials say he escaped through a window while being processed at the jail.

We're told he was gone around 7 p.m. and back in custody around 9 p.m.

Police say the domestic violence victim is cooperating with officers. There were multiple police units at the victim's home following the escape.
