An Independence County jail inmate walked away from a recycling work detail Friday, and authorities are searching for him.
Justin Wedge was last seen at the recycling center in Batesville at noon, and the county sheriff's office was notified that he was missing an hour later, according to a post on the agency's Facebook page.
He was in jail on charges of fleeing on foot and obstructing government operations, both misdemeanors, the post states.
