MISSING INMATE: Inmate Missing From Work Release

The Iowa Department of Corrections is looking for an inmate who escaped from a work-release program in Des Moines. 

Police say 21-year-old Darnell Cameron Lee was placed on escape status Thursday after he didn’t return from a work release program at the Fort Des Moines Work Release Facility.

Lee is serving a 6-year sentence for willful injury causing bodily injury and assault on a peace officer. 

Anyone with any information about where Lee’s whereabouts is asked to contact Des Moines police or the Polk County Sheriff’s office.
