Officials said an inmate playing a fugitive during a dog training exercise vanished into the woods on Thursday. Warden Dorothy Goode said 37-year-old inmate David Hopkins was helping out the canine unit by playing an escapee but never showed up for head count.
A "be on the lookout" warning went out and Hopkins was found within about an hour. Goode said he got lost and was not trying to escape. He's serving a life sentence for theft.
