GADSDEN, AL State prison officials and police in Alabama´s Etowah County are looking for a man who escaped from the Elmore Correctional Center Nov. 30 in a white state-owned vehicle, according to the Associated Press. The inmate was identified as Robert Wayne Miller, 32, who was serving a 25-year sentence for various property-related crimes. An Alabama prisons spokesman told the AP that Miller was working in a garage located outside the prison grounds when he stole an unmarked 1996 Crown Victoria. The vehicle was found burned on a rural county road about four hours later. Miller is a white male, 6 ft., 147 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a white prison uniform.
