Marion County Sheriff's Office

The male teen who escaped from the Marion County juvenile detention center Monday night was recaptured Tuesday in Delaware County. 16-year-old Michael Wilson was seen early Tuesday morning near U.S. Route 23 and Main Road. He was later taken into custody near the Delaware County fairgrounds. Authorities say climbed a fence to escape. Wilson has a long history of felony convictions,  including armed robbery, auto theft, and assault.
