AKRON, Ohio - An escaped convict is back behind bars after a brief bid for freedom in the Akron area.

U.S. Marshalls say Jason Conrad was spotted riding a bicycle near Aqueduct and Market Streets.

A search on the ground and from the air located Conrad along railroad tracks, where he was arrested after a foot chase.

A massive manhunt got underway after Conrad slipped away from authorities the day before as he was being taken to a medical appointment near Interstate 77.

In addition to fleeing and eluding, Conrad faces drug charges as well as a parole violation.
