ATLANTA - An inmate who escaped from the Fulton County Jail has been captured Tuesday at a motel in Jackson, Tennessee, after five days on the run. <br>
<br>
Twenty-two-year-old Quwan Rogers of College Park surrendered without incident shortly before 11 a.m. after police tracked him to the motel. <br>
<br>
Rogers' uncle -- Dwight Jones -- also was arrested for hindering the capture of an escaped prisoner. <br>
<br>
Police say Jones, a paramedic, gave inconsistent statements to officers and may have patched up Rogers' wounds and driven him to Greene County, midway between Atlanta and Augusta. <br>
<br>
Rogers had been charged with rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated assault and false imprisonment of a 13-year-old East Point girl last October.
