OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say they are confident an escaped inmate is in the Omaha area. The Nebraska State Patrol says officers were pursuing leads Tuesday in the search for 52-year-old Timothy Clausen.
Investigators believe he’s in the Omaha area and are putting greatest emphasis on the city’s northeast area.
Clausen and 37-year-old Armon Dixon escaped the Lincoln Correctional Center on Friday morning by climbing into a laundry truck and then cutting a hole in the truck’s roof.
Police captured Dixon in Lincoln on Saturday.
Clausen was serving a 50-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting a child under the age of 12 and up to five years for tampering with a juror.
Police say Clausen is dangerous and people should call 911 if they have information about him.
