Police are on the lookout for an escaped prisoner in Stanley Mission.

Officers were transporting Ethan Merasty to the Stanley Mission detachment last Saturday after he was arrested for breaching a court order. When the member opened the door to the police cruiser, Merasty fled on foot.

Police pursued Merasty but were unable to locate him.

He is 5-8, weighs 170 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes.
