Stolen truck found, but still no runaway inmate

Spokane County Fairgrounds truck found in northern Spokane neighborhood

The truck that was stolen by an escaping Spokane County inmate Tuesday morning was found that afternoon, abandoned in a northern Spokane neighborhood, the Sheriff’s Office said. But deputies still are searching for the inmate, Devin B. Johnson, who escaped around 9:30 a.m. while working at the Spokane County Fairgrounds. The truck, which belongs to the fairgrounds, was found undamaged in the 200 block of West Lacrosse Avenue. Johnson, 25, was being held at the Geiger Correctional Facility for domestic assault and harassment charges. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Check at 509-456-2233. Johnson is described as white, 5-feet-4-inches tall, 125 pounds with a shaved head and a goatee. He was last seen wearing an orange T-shirt and blue pants but may have changed into a white T-shirt, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
