WOODFIN – Law enforcement officers are searching tonight for a man who escaped from jail just hours before his release time.
Larry Dewayne Colvin, 31, escaped from the Buncombe Correctional Center, a minimum custody state facility in Woodfin, about 8 a.m. today, said Clifford Johnson, superintendent of the Buncombe Correctional Center.
Colvin was transferred from Dan River Work Farm in Yanceyville Tuesday evening, Johnson said. He had been serving a four-month sentence on two misdemeanor charges.
Authorities from the correctional center, along with Woodfin police and the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Department, have been searching for Colvin throughout the day but have not had any leads, Colvin said.
Anyone with information should call 9-1-1 on the correctional center at 645-7630.
