Cowley County deputies searching for escaped inmate

WINFIELD, Kan. (AP) — Cowley County deputies are searching for a 28-year-old inmate after they say he didn’t return to the jail from his court-ordered furlough.

Deputies say they were notified Monday that John Douglas Wooten didn’t return to Cowley County Jail.

Wooten was in custody for theft, forgery, making false information, bond violation and failure to appear.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call authorities.
