Delaware Department of Correction seeking escaped offender

GEORGETOWN, Del. – The Delaware Department of Correction is seeking the public’s help locating an escaped offender.

54-year-old Adam Blades reportedly walked away from the Sussex Community Corrections Center in Georgetown after failing to return from an approved work pass.

The offender’s whereabouts are unknown and unauthorized at this time.

Community Corrections Centers are Level 4 facilities where the Department of Correction manages offenders who are transitioning back into the community.

These centers are not secured like Level 5 prisons, as offenders are permitted to leave the facility to go to work, seek jobs, or attend approved treatment sessions.

Anyone with information on Blades is asked to call 800-542-9524 or their local police department.
