IDAHO FALLS — The Idaho Department of Correction is seeking an offender who walked away from a work assignment along U.S. Highway 20, north of Idaho Falls.

Randall Grant Brunette, Jr., 35, was reported as a walkaway just before 8 p.m. Saturday, according to an Idaho Department of Corrections news release.

Brunette has black hair, brown eyes, and a light brown complexion. He is 5’8” and weighs 195 pounds.

He was housed at the Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center. Community Reentry Centers are minimum-security facilities that allow certain inmates who are close to being released a chance to reunite with their families, prepare for their release and reintegrate into the community. The centers allow inmates the chance for community-based employment, treatment programs, support groups and community service, according to IDOC officials.

Brunette was sentenced December 23, 2013, in Bannock County to four to seven years for possession of a controlled substance.
