Two workers have been fired and two more are undergoing more training after two teenagers escaped from the Falkenburg Academy, a residential facility in Tampa.
G4S, the security company that runs the facility, said the four workers -- three youth care workers and a supervisor -- were suspended immediately. After an investigation, two were fired and the others are completing refresher training.
"The leadership team worked with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice on a corrective action plan which was put in place on February 8, 2016," said a release from G4S.
Earlier Tuesday, it was reported that the second teen who escaped from the Falkenburg Academy has been arrested.
St. Petersburg police found 17-year-old Anthony Cook at a home in the 300 block of Northeast Boulevard North N after someone called in a tip Tuesday morning.
On Feb. 4, police found 18-year-old Anthony Bays at a vacant house on Davison Avenue Northeast, a half-mile from where Cook was found. Initially, he gave the officers an incorrect name, but eventually admitted he was the escapee and there was a warrant for his arrest.
