GEORGETOWN — A warrant for escape after conviction was issued after a 33-year-old Milton man failed to return from an approved work pass Wednesday, the Delaware Department of Correction said.

Daniel Thibault was at Sussex Community Corrections Center before leaving and his whereabouts are unknown and unauthorized, spokeswoman Kate Weber said Thursday. His original offenses were theft of firearm and third-degree burglary.

Community Corrections Centers are Level 4 facilities where the Department of Correction manages offenders who are transitioning back into the community. These centers are not secured like Level 5 prisons, as offenders are permitted to the leave the facility to go to work, seek jobs, or attend approved treatment sessions.

The DOC asked anyone with information to call (800) 542-9524 or their local police department.
