Second escaped Bibb County inmate captured in Fulton County, Bibb County Sheriff's Office says

They say Marc Anderson was captured just before 3 p.m. in a luxury skyrise in Buckhead. It comes only a week after another inmate was captured in Macon County.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Another missing Bibb County inmate has been captured, according to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.

In the early hours of Oct. 16, four inmates held at the Bibb County jail escaped through a broken dayroom window at around 3:30 a.m. 

Now, 19 days into a nationwide manhunt, another escaped inmate, Marc Anderson, was captured on Friday just before 3 p.m. It leaves only two inmates still on the run.

The 25-year-old was found at the Huntley Apartments located at 1000 Park Drive in Atlanta in Buckhead. The cheapest rent is just under $2,300 a month, according to the apartment complex's website. It boasts a 24-hour concierge and a door man.

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office Criminal Intelligence Unit worked with the Bibb County Gang Unit, Georgia State Patrol SWAT and the U.S. Marshals in the arrest.

Anderson was in jail facing three aggravated assault charges. 

According to his indictment, he is accused of shooting at a woman in her car,  a woman in her residence and a man in his residence. It happened on March 29, 2020.

Last week on Oct. 26, another escaped inmate Chavis Stokes was captured at a house in Montezuma in Macon County, according to the U.S. Marshals Service

He was arrested and charged with felony escape. 

If you have any information, you are asked to call the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI or the U.S. Marshal's at 1-877-WANTED2.

They also accept tips at  tips.fbi.gov or USMS Tips App.

Another arrest for allegedly helping Anderson:

32-year-old Tymesha Ceiarra Timley was arrested Friday morning for helping escaped Bibb inmate Marc Kerry Anderson, who was captured at a luxury high-rise in Atlanta on Friday. 

Timley was arrested in the 1600 block of Wesleyan Drive for hindering the capture of Anderson at around 10 a.m. Friday morning, the Bibb County Sheriff's Office said.

Anderson would then be arrested 5 hours later just before 3 p.m at a fancy apartment building in the Atlanta neighborhood of Buckhead.

She was taken to the Bibb County Jail where she was charged with aiding or permitting another to escape lawful custody or confinement as well as hindering the apprehension or punishment of a criminal. 

Timley is being held without bond. It is unclear how exactly she helped aid Anderson or if she helped any of the other escaped Bibb inmates.

She is the third person arrested for allegedly helping one of the escaped Bibb inmates.

Which inmates are still on the run:

Now, the only two inmates still on the run are Joey Fournier, who is charged with murder, and Johnifer Barnwell, who was convicted for a number of serious drug crimes.

Joey Fournier:

Fournier was charged in the murder of his ex-girlfriend Cynthia Berry in early 2022 in east Macon. 

According to previous coverage, Berry filed a protective order against Berry in 2021, which Fournier allegedly violated in early 2022. He is accused of going to her new home on Winchester Place and strangling her to death.

Berry's brother found her dead in her home the next day. 

Johnifer Barnwell

27-year-old Barnwell was arrested after evidence from the FBI suggested he was a leader in a "drug trafficking organization." 

According to the FBI, they say that they screened Barnwell's phone calls and found Barnwell communicating with other members of his organization about drug runs and money owed. 

On Oct. 2 — only 14 days before his escape from the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center — a jury found him guilty on six counts of drug trafficking charges. 

Those other allegations about his role as a drug trafficking leader were not mentioned in his conviction. But they found him guilty on possession with intent to distribute drugs like fentanyl, heroin and meth.

While he has been found guilty, the U.S. Attorney's Office asked to delay Barnwell's sentence. 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joy Odom argued that if Barnwell was sentenced to life in prison, he'd be more likely to use deadly force to avoid arrest.
