One Yankton Prison Escapee Apprehended

One of two Yankton minimum-security state prison inmates who were placed on escape status this week is back in custody.

Inmate Anthony McDonald was apprehended in Minnehaha County on Wednesday.

McDonald and Gaige McCune left their work release jobsite in Yankton without authorization early Tuesday morning and failed to return to the Yankton Community Work Center at the appointed time.

McCune remains on escape status. He is a white male. He is 5-feet-7 inches tall and weighs approximately 190 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes.

Contact law enforcement if you see McCune or know of his whereabouts.

Failure to return to custody following an assignment or temporary leave granted for a specific purpose or limited period constitutes second-degree escape, a Class 5 felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
