Jimmy Causey, 46, even left a makeshift dummy in his bed to deceive prison guards in the Alcatraz-style escape bid.

An inmate used wirecutters and a mobile phone likely delivered by a drone to escape from a maximum security prison , authorities said.

Jimmy Causey, 46, escaped from the Lieber Correctional Institution in Ridgeville, South Carolina, on Tuesday.

He went on the run for three days before he was captured in Texas on Friday with guns and more than $47,000 in cash.

Causey appeared to have coordinated the breakout using the smuggled mobile phone and then used the tools to cut through fences, state Department of Corrections Director Bryan Stirling said.

The inmate, who is serving a life sentence for kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges, also left a makeshift dummy in his bed to deceive prison guards in the Alcatraz-style escape bid.

"We believe that a drone was used to fly in the tools that allowed him to escape," Stirling said at a news conference.

Texas Rangers captured the inmate at an Austin, Texas, motel early on Friday.

He had a handgun, a shotgun, ammunition, four cell phones and more than $47,000 in cash, state Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel said.

It was Causey's second prison escape. In 2005, he and a fellow inmate escaped from another prison and were captured days later, Columbia television station WIS reported.

Deliveries of contraband to prisons by drones have become increasingly common as the unmanned aircraft grow more popular.

A Maryland inmate was convicted in 2016 of trying to smuggle drugs into a prison using an unmanned aircraft.

In 2015, a drone dropped illicit drugs and tobacco into an Ohio prison's exercise yard, sparking a fight.

In Britain, police recovered two drones carrying cell phones and drugs near a London prison last year and have set up a special unit - Operation Airborne - to catch offenders trying to fly contraband into jail.

Stirling said he and prison officials from around the United States have repeatedly asked federal authorities to allow state agencies to block cell phone transmissions from prisons.

And you feel so concert about Evans? More deadlier than Evans are on the loose. Evans targeted the rich and so he had fewer victims. What about those killing poor farmers in the farms, etc?

Escaped twice? Haba! They should just build him a personal prison on the moon or mars.

Let's have prisoner's exchanged, bring him to any of Nigeria maximum prison of his. choice, I can sure you he would be sobered in the next few hours in stepping inn.. ..
