Law enforcement is requesting the public’s assistance in locating an escaped inmate.
The Kentucky State Police and Hardin County Detention Center are searching for 37-year-old Tony R. Stephens, who reportedly escaped from the detention center’s substance abuse treatment program annex Monday morning.
The KSP says they were notified of Stephens’s escape at around 8:30 a.m. While the last reported address for Stephens is for Fordsville, officials believe Stephens may be attempting to head toward the Covington/Northern Kentucky area.
Stephens is described as a bald white male with blue eyes standing five feet nine inches tall and weighing 160 pounds. The detention center’s inmate registry shows that Stephens was booked into the facility in July on drug charges.
The public is asked to not approach Stephens if located. Contact the Kentucky State Police at 270-766-5078 or dial 911.
