SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – A 43-year-old inmate has been captured following his escape from a work release facility in Sioux City. Fred Scaletta of the state Department of Corrections says David Kreider was apprehended Friday in Sioux City. He is at the Woodbury County Jail.

Officials at the Sioux City Residential Treatment Facility say Kreider didn’t return as scheduled from his overnight shift job on Thursday morning. He’s serving a 20-year sentence for willful injury and other crimes. He was convicted of stabbing a man in October 2004.  In July last year, Kreider left the center without permission. He was found two days later by U.S. marshals and subsequently convicted of voluntary absence.

Scaletta says Kreider was given another opportunity for work release because officials perceived that his behavior had improved.

Officials say just after 7-p..m. Friday, a 1985 Dodge pickup driven by Plott, Jr., was eastbound on 270th Street about one-third of a mile west of West Railway Road in Coburg, when his pickup crossed the center line, causing his side-view mirror to collide with the side-view mirror of a westbound 2004 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 49-year old Roger Allen Abraham, of Red Oak.

Plott failed to stop and continued west on 270th and then south onto Highway 48 into a rural driveway in Page County, where Abraham was able to get Plott to stop, while they waited for Page and Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputies to arrive.

Damage from the incident amounted to $1,950. No injuries were reported.
