A minimum custody inmate is on the loose in Tucson after escaping authorities Sunday night.
Inmate Kevin A. Purdon, ADC #309804, escaped the Catalina unit and was last accounted for at 7:40 p.m. Purdon was admitted to prison in 2016 after being convicted out of Pima County to serve four and a half years for solicitation of a dangerous drug violation.
Arizona Department of Corrections has dispatched its chase teams, tracking dog teams and fugitive apprehension unit to find the fugitive inmate. Local authorities are also assisting in the search.
Anyone with information of his whereabouts is encouraged to call 911.

What a shock. I worked with this inmate and he would be one of the last inmates I would ever expect to do something like that.
Hannah‼️ You would be a very valuable asset to help discover his whereabouts. Hopefully, you have been contacted so, at least, an investigator can pick your brain about his options on the outside.
