Missing Lincoln inmate arrested in Grand Island over a month after escaping

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A man found himself in custody Tuesday after calling the police on a missing Lincoln inmate.

Around 3:30 a.m., officers were sent to a Grand Island home after a caller reported that his MacBook and cellphone had been stolen.

Officers saw 20-year-old Torrien Harris running out of the backyard.  She continued to run away, despite officers’ demands to stop, Grand Island Police say.

Officers eventually caught up and arrested her.  Police later confirmed that she had a warrant out for her arrest.

The caller, Justin Turner, was also taken into custody after officers discovered that he had a warrant out of Hamilton County.

In July, Harris went missing from the Community Corrections Center-Lincoln after failing to return from a job assignment.

Her sentence began on Feb. 17 after she was sentenced in Lancaster County to at least 14 months for burglary, theft and obstructing a police officer.
