Law enforcement in two states are involved in a search for a state prison inmate that escaped in a truck from the Mike Durfee State Prison in Springfield earlier today.

A white, 2007 International pumper truck was driven through two sets of gates at the prison at approximately 1:45 p.m. today.  A count of inmates showed that Inmate Jesse Oliver was missing from the prison.
    
The Knox County, Nebraska Sheriffs Department is investigating a report that two people saw a truck matching the description of the vehicle that was taken from the prison heading south near the Niobrara Bridge and toward Santee, Nebraska shortly after the time of the escape.

The truck does have a flatbed trailer on it.  The truck’s license plate number is DB 300.

Oliver is 21 years old and has brown hair and hazel eyes.  He is approximately 6-feet-1 inches tall and weighs 161 pounds.  Oliver was serving a 4-year sentence out of Minnehaha County for 2nd Degree Burglary.
