Omaha woman suspected of aiding escaped inmates

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 50-year-old Omaha woman is suspected of aiding two inmates who escaped from the Lincoln Correctional Center.

She was taken into custody Saturday night on suspicion of aiding a felon. Online court records don’t show that she’s been formally charged yet.

Authorities think the two inmates who fled the prison Friday made their getaway in a laundry truck. One of the men, 37-year-old Armon Dixon, was recaptured Saturday in Lincoln. Authorities say the other, 52-year-old Timothy Clausen, remains at large.

Dixon has been serving up to 278 years for the violent, armed rapes of two women in separate attacks in 2009. Clausen has been serving 50 to 55 years for first-degree sexual assault of a child and tampering with a juror.
