Kelly Renee Norton, 44, left the Pocatello Women’s Correctional Center Sunday night, according to the Idaho Department of Correction.

She was arrested at Francis Avenue and Division Street about 10 a.m. Tuesday after detectives got a tip from Pocatello police.

Norton was sentenced in 1994 to a 10- to 20-year sentence for second-degree murder in Washington County and has been at the prison’s community custody unit since Oct. 9.

The unit is outside the main prison fence and houses minimum security inmates. Authorities think Norton walked from the facility to a waiting vehicle.
