Kentucky State Police continue to search for an inmate who walked away from work release in Barren County.
Police said 33-year-old Donald P. Shelton was on work release on Hiseville Park Road, about six miles east of Cave City, when he walked away at approximately 11:30 Friday morning.
He was incarcerated in the Barren County Detention Center after being convicted in Pulaski County in December 2021 for first-degree wanton endangerment, first-degree fleeing or evading police and bail jumping, according to the Kentucky Department of Corrections (KDC).
He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a neon green Barren County Detention Center shirt. Shelton is five feet, eight inches tall and weighs approximately 150 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes.
The KDC says his “expected time to serve” date is July 6, 2027.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Shelton is asked to contact Kentucky State Police at 270-782-2010.
