Maryland authorities are looking for an inmate who walked away from a work-release site on Wednesday and hasn’t been located.

Mark Randolph, 35, left a work-release assignment at a Towson business at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the state Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.

Randolph is serving an eight-year sentence for possession with intent to distribute drugs. Maryland grants conditional work release to inmates who are nearing the end of their sentences. The inmates work at a business outside of prison and are at a corrections facility when they are not working.

Randolph was assigned to the Baltimore Pre-Release Unit.

He is described as a black man who is about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 185 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information about his location should call 911.
