Authorities said information developed through a joint investigation involving the Vance County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI and the SBI led investigators to Buncombe County, where the suspects were located and taken into custody.
“The SBI would like to thank all the agencies who have worked tirelessly over the past five days to get these two individuals back into custody,” the agency said in a news release.

The investigation into the escape and the suspects’ activities while on the run remains ongoing.
The FBI previously released surveillance video showing Miles and Knott running through a hallway inside the detention center while wearing orange jumpsuits and appearing unrestrained. The sheriff’s office said the two escaped around 2 p.m. on June 3.
Following the escape, law enforcement agencies offered rewards totaling up to $40,000 for information leading to their capture. Vance County Sheriff Curtis R. Brame previously described the men as “armed and dangerous” and said investigators believed the escape had been planned in advance.
Court records show Knott faces charges related to a parking lot shootout, as well as allegations involving a stolen vehicle and drugs. Miles faces charges connected to a drug raid. Both men have prior felony convictions.
