BUTTE – An inmate
who escaped from a county jail in western Montana is back in custody
after a week on the run.
The “Montana Standard”
reports that U.S. Marshals arrested 27-year-old Tory Gee of Sheridan on Oct. 18
on a farm outside Charlo north of Missoula after a foot chase.
The U.S.

that Gee might be hiding in an outbuilding there.

pickups while he was at large.
He was

and has previous convictions for assault with a weapon and burglary. He is
registered as a violent offender in Montana.
