DURANT, Okla. (AP) -- An 18-year-old man who's serving a prison sentence for burglary remains at large following his escape from the Bryan County Jail.

County officials say Richard Roylee Kramer was one of two men who escaped from the county's auxiliary jail on Friday. 38-year-old Brian Keith Turner also escaped but was caught a few hours later near Kingston.

The Department of Corrections says Kramer has prior drug convictions. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison for second-degree burglary with five years suspended.

Details about how the two men escaped were not available Tuesday. The sheriff's department was closed and Sheriff Bill Sturch did not return calls seeking comment.

The escape is one of many jail breaks at the Bryan County jail during the past year.
