BARNEGAT TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Police in New Jersey say security footage has captured images of an inmate walking into a pharmacy a day after vanishing from a state prison.
In a Facebook post, the Barnegat Police Department identifies the man in the images taken Wednesday morning as 38-year-old Arthur Buckel. Corrections officials say the minimum security inmate was missing when guards at Bayside State Prison in the southern New Jersey town of Hammonton performed a count Tuesday morning.
Buckel, whose last known address was in Clifton, had been serving a sentence for aggravated assault. He was scheduled to be paroled later this month.
Barnegat Township schools that were placed on lockdown Wednesday are set to resume classes Thursday morning.
