SHARON, Pa. — State troopers have found an inmate who escaped from a western Pennsylvania correctional facility.

Authorities say 23-year-old Cody Allen Kuntz ran out of a kitchen door at the Sharon Community Corrections Center, which is a state prison used to house and rehabilitate criminals, on Friday afternoon with a garbage bag containing his clothing.

Police say he was seen on a security monitor running out of the door and down a hill.

He's serving a sentence for felony drug violations. Police said Kuntz was taken into custody on Monday.

No further details were immediately available.
