A Tennessee inmate turned himself in to authorities less than an hour after successfully fleeing from a Memphis jail.
20-year-old Demarkus K. Davis was facing two counts of rape of a child in connection to a June 20203 incident in Shelby County, Tennessee.
Davis managed to flee from the Memphis jail at about 10:50 p.m. Sunday but only spent about 45 minutes as a free man.

Police said the fugitive, who was wearing a hoodie, jeans, and shackles, couldn’t bear the sub-zero temperatures outside the facility and sought to be re-arrested at around 11:35 p.m.
Davis flagged down a passer-by asking they call 911 so he could be brought back to jail.
Now he faces an additional count of escape.
