A 35-year-old prisoner who escaped from his minimum-security work detail remained at large Thursday night, Donovan State Prison authorities said.
Ronald F. Rutledge, who was serving a two-year sentence for possession of bad checks, was discovered missing from his work detail at the San Diego Trolley compound about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday, authorities said.
Rutledge, who had been in jail since October, had been assigned to the minimum-security crew since November and had been working at the trolley center since December.
He is described as 5-foot-9, 180 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He has numerous tattoos, including one on his right arm that says, “Love Is Mom.”
