Docs say officials think 2 inmates escaped on laundry truck

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Law enforcement officials believe two inmates who escaped from a maximum security prison last week made their getaway in a laundry truck.

Court records say officials believe Armon Dixon and Timothy Clausen stowed onto a laundry truck that left the Lincoln Correctional Center at 9:15 a.m. Friday bound for another state prison in Tecumseh.

The documents say a 911 caller reported seeing two men dressed as inmates running Friday in an area where the truck stopped at an intersection.

Authorities later discovered a hole in the truck’s roof.

Dixon was captured Saturday after a massive manhunt in Lincoln, but Clausen remains at large.

Both men are convicted rapists and are considered a great danger to the public.
