A search is underway for an inmate who walked away from the minimum security unit of the Stillwater prison in Bayport, Minn.

The Minnesota Department of Corrections says 40-year-old Patrick James Buswell, a grounds crew worker, walked away from his crew while performing regular duties Friday morning.

Buswell is serving a 60-month sentence for a weapons offense. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 6 inches tall and 210 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

Officials are asking anyone who sees Buswell or has information about his whereabouts to call 911 or a tipline at 651-603-0026.
