Members with the Cañon City Search team, DOC Office of the Inspector General and local law enforcement conducted search efforts and announced around 11:40 p.m. that Johnson had been located. 

Johnson was listed as a “minimum security inmate” and had been serving a two-year sentence for vehicular eluding with bodily injury, officials said.

Officials did not include information on how Johnson escaped or where he was found.
