Authorities Currently Searching For An Escaped Inmate

***SUSPECT HAS BEEN CAPTURED***

Authorities are currently searching for an inmate that escaped from the Southwest Arkansas Community Correction Center in Texarkana.

Charles Hausner escaped from the facility Monday. Hausner was in jail for possession of a controlled substance.

Charles Hausner, 37, was working around 8:45 a.m. near the Ermer Dansby Pondexter Sports Complex when he ran away toward railroad tracks, according to a news release.

The escape seemed “spur-of-the-moment” and not “part of a well-thought-out plan,” the release added.

Hausner is serving three years at the Southwest Arkansas Community Correction Center after being sentenced in August on two drug-related offenses.

Hausner is a 37-year-old white male 5’8″ tall and weighs 170 pounds. If you know his location call 911.
