An inmate at the Codington County Detention Center has escaped after leaving the facility to go to a medical appointment, and then fleeing this morning.
The inmate is identified as 39 year-old Justin Taube (tawb) of Willmar, Minnesota.
He was in jail for Possession of a Controlled Substance.
Sheriff Brad Howell says there is no immediate danger to the public, but he’s asking anyone who sees him to not confront the individual, but to report the sighting to the sheriff’s department.
