At about 10am this morning, 5/18/23, SPD responded to a call that a male from a Geiger Correctional Center work crew walked away from a job site in the Browne’s Addition area of Spokane. The crew had just begun litter cleanup near 3rd and Sunset Blvd when the inmate took off. SPD officers have been searching the area and conducting an investigation.

He was last seen wearing a distinctive correctional center issued orange vest and shirt and blue pants.
