Overview
- Diontae Green, 35, fled a Marion County Community Corrections transport van near the Criminal Justice Campus around 11:15 a.m. and was found hiding under a bridge about four hours later.
- More than 50 officers, drones, K9s, and search teams converged on the near east side, where witnesses reported Green was located near a homeless encampment.
- Community Corrections says the transport was tied to an active warrant stemming from a work-release rules violation, not a new criminal charge.
- Director Scott Hohl acknowledged the transporting officer called a supervisor before sheriff’s dispatch, causing a short delay, and said procedures and training are being reviewed.
- Accounts differ on what triggered the violation, with one report citing a missed medication pickup and another citing cocaine found in a boot; Green is held seven days without bond pending a court appearance.
