DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a 29-year-old inmate has been listed as escaped from the state work release facility in Des Moines.

The Iowa Corrections Department says Michael Cowden didn’t return to the facility from work on Wednesday. He’d been sent to work release after his parole was revoked on May 3.

Cowden originally was sentenced to 15 years for assault and prohibited acts in Clarke County.
