An inmate at the Pe Sakastew Centre, a minimum security prison in Maskwacis, escaped during a temporary absence Saturday night.

54-year-old Darell Moosomin was escorted to the Samson Pow-Wow, but the prisoner disappeared around 8:45 p.m. and has not been seen since.

Moosomin, who is from Mosquito Lake, Saskatchewan, has no known friends or family in the Maskwacis area.

The escapee is described as 5-foot-9, 217 pounds, has a scar on his throat, and tattoos on his right hand and back.

Police describe Moosomin as a “dangerous offender” who is serving an indeterminate sentence for six convictions, including sexual assault.

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) notified RCMP of his absence, and police are now investigating.

Anyone with information on Moosomin’s whereabouts is asked to contact police.
