DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — The Department of Corrections says an inmate has been put on escape status after he left a work release center in Davenport. The agency says 26-year-old Michael Christopher Lewis was listed as being an escape after failing to return to the center Thursday.

He was serving a 19-year sentence for intimidation with a dangerous weapon, going armed with intent, criminal mischief and operating a vehicle without owner consent. He began the sentence in March 2008.

He was transferred to the work release center Sept. 6.
