Kevin Mason, 28, was 'mistakenly released' from an adult detention center in Marion County on September 13, two days after his arrest, 'due to a faulty records review' by staff, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
A manhunt is underway for Kevin Mason, who was mistakenly released from a jail in Indianapolis, Indiana.The US Marshals Service is offering $10,000 for those who come forward with information leading to the arrest of a suspect in a 2021 killing who was released from a detention center in Indianapolis last week due to a clerical mistake, officials said.
He was released after a Marion County sheriff's clerk thought she was correcting duplicate bookings for the inmate and removed two holds in his file, Martin said. The next day, a clerk in Minnesota lifted the final hold in Mason's file and did not catch the error that happened the day before, according to the colonel.
Officials discovered the error "shortly after" Mason's release and a "round-the-clock" manhunt has been underway ever since, Martin said. The woman still was being held early Thursday with no bond set, jail records showed. No attorney or court date was listed in the records. "As a former U.S. Marshal, I have a personal understanding of the far-reaching tools our federal partners have," said Marion County Sheriff Kerry Forestal. "With 56 regional task forces and their capture of nearly 76,000 fugitives in 2022, I am fully confident they will locate Kevin Mason and bring him into custody."
Mason has "local ties to Indianapolis" and had been in the area since the killing he is accused of in Minnesota, Martin said.
