UPDATE: Escapee from B.G. correctional facility remains at-large
BOWLING GREEN -- Authorities early today were still on the hunt for an inmate of NorthWest Community Corrections Center on East Gypsy Lane Road who went over a fence and escaped into an adjacent cornfield.
The escape took place about 8:15 p.m. Wednesday. The facility informed the Wood County sheriff’s office at 10:05 p.m., deputies said.
The inmate, Jhon M. Rosado, 24, was wearing a blue jumpsuit and an orange sweatshirt.
He pleaded guilty in July to one count of domestic violence, a fourth-degree felony. He was sentenced Monday to three years of community control by Wood County Common Pleas Court Robert Pollex.
He lived in Jacksonville, Fla., according to court records.
The escape comes less than a week after Chardon high school shooter Thomas "T.J." Lane, 19, and two other inmates briefly escaped from the Allen Oakwood Correctional Center near Lima after scaling a fence on the night of Sept. 11.
Lindsey Bruce, 33, in prison for an aggravated murder conviction, was the first inmate to be caught and was apprehended by a staff member who chased after the three after the escape Thursday.
Lane, serving a life term for the 2012 high school shooting that killed three people, was apprehended a little more than four hours later in a wooded area near the prison.
The third prisoner, Clifford Opperud, 45, of Carlisle, Ohio, was taken into custody about 4:20 a.m. the next morning after a helicopter-mounted infrared camera tracked him hiding under a boat on a private residence. He is in prison for aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, and kidnapping.
The three recaptured prisoners were swiftly transferred to the state's maximum-security facility in Youngstown.
