An inmate from the Community Corrections Center in Omaha is on the loose after he left the facility around 6:00 Wednesday evening.
Nebraska Department of Corrections officials say after walking away from the facility Shelton Fils removed the electronic monitoring device he was wearing. It was recovered in nearby Carter Lake, Iowa.
CCC-O is one of two community custody facilities operated by NDCS. Community custody is the lowest custody level and the least restrictive facility. Inmates are allowed to participate in work opportunities, attend school and religious services with prior approval and without direct supervision.
Fils is serving an eight year sentence out of Douglas County on weapons charges, resisting arrest and making terroristic threats. His sentence started on October 5, 2012. He was tentatively scheduled for release on January 9, 2020.
Anyone with information about Fils whereabouts is asked to contact local authorities or the Nebraska State Patrol.
