After a 72 year-old inmate walked away from the Pondville Corretional Center in Norfolk on Tuesday morning, October 1st, the Massachusetts Department of Corrections (DOC) has announced around 8:00 p.m. that the escapee was located that evening in Foxborough, and that investigators have taken him into custody.
The DOC investigators have charged Kevin O-Brien with escape from a correctional facility. He was serving a sentence for motor vehicle theft when he went missing.
Mr. O’Brien had last been seen on the grounds of the minimum/pre-release facility in Norfolk around 9:30 a.m. He was discovered missing around 11:00 a.m. during a routine check.
Video footage showed Mr. O'Brien leaving the facility’s track area and walking into the woods around 10:00 a.m. He was wearing dark blue jeans, a crewneck sweatshirt, a navy-blue windbreaker and navy-blue ballcap.
When searching for the missing inmate, the DOC called on area police departments and the state police for assistance. Drones and K-9 units were also used in the search.
Sunny, with a high of 77 and low of 65 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Sunny in the morning, moderate rain at times for the afternoon, mist during the evening, clear overnight.
We used to spray our lawn with a company that said they used non-toxic chemicals. The loss of bees, frogs, pollinators and birds in our garden was dramatic.
Great topic! I'd love to see more from the environmental action committee on encouraging less use of pesticides/weed killers/fertilizers in town.
what a great way to encourage people to plant native, it gives me so much pleasure to see who is visiting my plants.
Good (majority) call by the Select Board. Appropriate time to bring in outside, impartial, leadership to the Department.
