Md. inmate absconds from work-release job

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. Randolph was assigned to the Baltimore Pre-Release Unit when he was not at work.

He is a black man, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and 185 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information about his location should call 911.
