VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - Two offenders who escaped from a minimum-security prison in southwest Washington have been recaptured.

The state Department of Corrections says 23-year-old Michael Scott Frio and 33-year-old Eric Allen Voight were discovered missing from the Larch Corrections Center about 10:20 p.m. Sunday. The prison is about 15 miles northeast of Vancouver.

The department says Frio was recaptured in Orchards at about 1 a.m. Monday. Voight was captured around noon.

Frio was serving a sentence for drug and property crimes in Clark County. Voight was behind bars for two counts of burglary from Thurston County.

Details about how the men escaped were not immediately available.
