1 In Custody After Pulling Gun on Deputy Near Georgia Prison

A man is in custody after attempting to breach the perimeter of a south Georgia prison, encountering a deputy and pulling a gun on the official, according to reports.

The deputy opened fire, but no one was injured in the incident just before 1 a.m. Tuesday at Wilcox State Prison, according to WALB , a news station in Albany.

The unidentified suspect took off after gunfire erupted, but was captured just before 6 a.m. following a manhunt.

Georgia Department of Corrections spokeswoman Joan Heath told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that officials believe the suspect attempted to breach the exterior perimeter of the facility in an effort to drop contraband. Two packages were reportedly recovered on prison property.
