Grant County news, Washington news.

Grant County authorities are actively looking for an inmate who fled the facility Sunday afternoon after being tasked with dumping trash outside the jail.

25-year-old Carlos Camarena is at large since he ran away at around 5 p.m. Sunday when Grant County Jail officials asked him to take the trash out.

He was a jail trustee, meaning that his exemplary behavior within the correctional facility granted him the possibility to perform some duties other inmates are not allowed to do.

    A K-9 with Moses Lake Police Department picked up the runaway’s trail but Camarena managed to conceal his path.

    The escapee was serving a 240-day sentence for second-degree burglary and third-degree theft and was described as non-violent.
