PREVIOUS STORY:
According to a release from the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS), an inmate went missing from the Community Corrections Center – Lincoln (CCC-L) on Thursday around 8 p.m.
The inmate, Edgar Vidales-Ramirez, was originally sentenced in June of 2020 out of Douglas County for charges that included assault by strangulation, child abuse and escape. He had a tentative release date of Dec. 18, 2021.
The NDCS said Vidales-Ramirez is 28 years old, stands 5’7”, weighs 205 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes.
The NDCS said, “CCC-L is one of two community custody facilities operated by NDCS. Community custody is the lowest custody level and the least restrictive facility. Inmates are allowed to participate in work opportunities, attend school and religious services with prior approval and without direct supervision.”
Anyone with information about Vidales-Ramirez’s whereabouts is asked to contact local authorities or the Nebraska State Patrol.
