A dangerous inmate who escaped from a Phoenix prison has been captured.

Adan Orduno Jr. was arrested in downtown Phoenix Sunday evening. 

Maricopa County Sheriff's investigators say he tore open a hole in the ceiling of his cell at the Lower Buckeye Jail and made his way into a crawl space.  That led him to a fence that he climbed to escape. 

Orduno was being held on attempted murder and robbery charges. 

He now faces additional charges for attempted escape.
