INDIANAPOLIS — Authorities are searching for a man who escaped from Community Corrections custody Tuesday morning, clarifying earlier reports that stated an inmate had escaped from the Marion County jail.
The escape occurred during transport to the Marion County Community Justice Campus when the arrestee jumped from a Community Corrections vehicle and fled on foot.
Diontae Green, 35, is described as a Black male, approximately 5'9" and 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black jacket and blue jeans, and authorities say he was still wearing leg shackles and handcuffs when he escaped.
Community Corrections operates independently and is not under the oversight of the Marion County Sheriff's Office, officials clarified.
Green was being transported on an outstanding Marion County warrant for unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.
Multiple law enforcement agencies are assisting in the search. Anyone with information is urged to call 911 immediately.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department took to social media to confirm they are assisting the sheriff’s office in the search. They also clarified that the suspect was not an inmate.
