Timothy Clausen, 52, and Armon Dixon, 37, both escaped from the Lincoln Correctional Center in Lincoln, Neb., on Friday. It is still unclear how the men escaped. But according to CNN, both men, who are serving long sentences for violent crimes, are said to be dangerous.

On Saturday a man matching Dixon's descriptionย was seen going into a storm drain. Police used dogs and a robot to locate Dixon, and he was arrested earlyย Saturday morning.

โ€œOur work is not over,โ€ Chief Jeff Bliemeister of the Lincoln Police Department said, according to CNN. โ€œOur efforts will continue until we have the second escapee in custody.โ€

Before Dixonโ€™s arrest, police received a call about an assault at a home in the area.

Two women at the home gave a description that matched Dixonโ€™s. Both women had to be hospitalized for injuries suffered during the assault, the police said.

As the search for Clausen continues, authorities are urging residents to stay alert and look for any signs of a break-in when they return home.
