ENFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Authorities are searching for an inmate who escaped from a correctional facility in Enfield.
Carl Robinson Correctional Institution officials say Jerry Mercado was unaccounted for around 3:15 p.m. Sunday during a routine facility count.
The building was placed in lockdown. Enfield is about 21 miles north of Hartford.
Mercado is classified as a low-risk offender. The 25-year-old was sentenced in August 2016 to three years for burglary.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
