Northern Indiana police are searching for an inmate they describe as dangerous who has escaped from the grounds of the Indiana State Prison. Michigan City police are reporting 39-year-old Travis Hornett escaped at about 11 A.M. on Wednesday from the prison grounds while on a work detail.

Hornett is described as white and Hispanic with brown hair and eyes. He’s about 5-foot-4 inches tall, and weighs about 160 pounds. Hornett was wearing khaki clothes when he escaped.

Hornett was sentenced last year on a burglary charge.
