Authorities are on the lookout for an escapee from the Davenport Work Release Facility. Officials at the Iowa Department of Corrections say 36-year-old Roger Romero Clayton was placed on escape status on Friday, February 1, 2013, after failing to return to the facility from his job.

According to records, Clayton was sentenced to 20 years in prison for intimidation with a dangerous weapon, going armed with intent and receiving/transporting/possession of firearm as a felon.

Clayton's sentence began on September 29, 2006. He was transferred to the work release facility on December 6, 2013.

Anyone with information as to Clayton's whereabouts is asked to call the Davenport Police Department or Scott County Sheriff's Department.
