The Greene County Sheriff's Department is asking for the public's help in locating a man who escaped from the Greene County Workhouse this afternoon.

45-year-old Rex Allen Gray left a work crew on foot around 3:30 this afternoon. He is believed to have taken a bicycle nearby.

Gray is 6'2" tall and around 180 pounds with blue eyes and auburn hair.

Gray has been in custody since early January. At that time, he was given a 10-month sentence for violating probation and 90 days for resisting arrest, evading arrest, reckless endangerment and driving on a suspended license.

If you see Gray or know of his whereabouts, do not try to apprehend him. Call 911 or the Greene County Sheriff's Department at 798-1800.
