Daniel Rogers, a Darby man convicted of DUI earlier this month, was accidentally released from the George W. Hill Correctional Facility on Aug. 9, according to county officials.
A Darby man was accidentally released from the George W. Hill Correctional Facility earlier this month, officials said Wednesday as they continued their search for him.
Daniel Rogers, 41, had been incarcerated in Delaware County’s jail since Aug. 5, when he pleaded guilty to DUI, court records show. Judge Richard Cappelli sentenced him to 72 hours to six months in the county jail, but officials accidentally released him from the facility Aug. 9, before his release had been authorized by administrators there, according to sources at the jail with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.
Staff at the jail didn’t know Rogers had escaped until Aug. 15, during an inmate count, the sources said. A county spokesperson confirmed Wednesday that investigators were still attempting to locate Rogers, and were visiting previous addresses associated with him. The circumstances of his release remained under investigation.
“Efforts are currently under way to return the individual to the facility,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “We are conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident and will implement corrective measures to prevent it from happening again in the future.”
