South Dakota Inmates Escape From Minimum-security Unit

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Law enforcement authorities are searching for two inmates who escaped from the state penitentiary in Sioux Falls.

Authorities say 29-year-old Brandon Suess and 32-year-old Troy Chase were last seen Friday afternoon working on prison grounds. They failed to return to the minimum-security unit for a count of inmates at 3:45 p.m.

Suess is serving an eight-year sentence for third-degree burglary and a seven-year sentence for grand theft in Custer County. Chase is serving three years for forgery in Minnehaha County.
