SPRINGFIELD - Authorities are searching for a 28-year-old inmate who walked away from the minimum security Western Massachusetts Correctional Alcohol Center sometime Thursday night, according to Richard McCarthy, spokesman for the Hampden County Sheriff's Department.
Steven Campos, 28, of Springfield, was serving 630 days for distribution of cocaine with intent to distribute. He was eligible for a parole hearing on Nov. 4, McCarthy said.
Campos is 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes.
