On Tuesday, U.S. Marshals were successful in locating Wilson in the parking lot of a gas station in Smyrna, on the outskirts of Atlanta. At approximately 8:00 p.m. the escapee was apprehended. As U.S. Marshals moved in to affect the arrest, Wilson attempted to flee. He denied his identity, and provided U.S. Marshals with the false name of Jerome Turner.

Wilson, 40 years of age, appeared before United States Magistrate Judge Gerrilyn Brill in Atlanta on Wednesday. He waived his identity, and was ordered detained. Wilson is being held in custody in greater Atlanta, pending his removal to the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Upon his return to the Williamsport area, Wilson will be prosecuted for escape by the U.S. Marshals Service in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
