WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — An inmate who failed to return to a Waterloo prison facility after an off-site appointment has been deemed an escapee.
The Iowa Department of Corrections says 28-year-old Christopher Smith was granted a temporary leave but he didn't return to the Waterloo Work Release Facility. He was put on escape status Saturday.
Smith was serving a five-year sentence for child endangerment and possession of a controlled substance out of Black Hawk County. His sentence started last April, and he was transferred to the Waterloo facility on Feb. 10.
