An escaped juvenile offender is back in custody after escaping from a Killeen detention center Wednesday.

The escapee, whose name will not be released due to his age, was found hiding in a backyard tree house in the 4200 block of Greenlee Thursday morning. He was taken into custody without incident at 11:57 AM.

The 230-pound teenager overpowered a guard at Killeen Juvenile Detention Center Wednesday afternoon, then used the guard's keys to unlock a door and flee.
