MCMINNVILLE, Ore. (AP) — Marion County sheriff’s deputies are looking for two inmates who failed to return to the county’s Jail Work Center after being granted three-hour passes.

Inmates who show good behavior can earn the passes to take care of personal matters or visit family. But the sheriff’s office says in a news release that Felipe Morales Jr. didn’t return Friday evening and David Torres failed to return Saturday morning. Both men are from Salem.

Torres was convicted of vehicular attempt to elude and possession of methamphetamine. He was to be released in August. Morales is serving time for an assault conviction and was due out next January. Both men face additional jail time if caught.
