An escaped armed robbery convict was found Friday morning hiding in a Millen home where some of his relatives live. Michael Middleton, 24, of Waynesboro, was sentenced in Jenkins County Superior Court Wednesday regarding a convenience store armed robbery. He escaped from Jenkins County Jail staff later that night as they prepared to return him to state prison, Jenkins County Sheriff Robert Oglesby said.
