2 Larch inmates escape from work crew in Hockinson

One of the Larch Corrections Center inmates who escaped Tuesday was apprehended “without incident” Tuesday night, according to the Department of Corrections.

Donald Williams McLain, 33, is in custody, the department said. Police were still looking for the other escaped inmate, Randall Jacob Marlow, 44, Tuesday night.

McLain and Marlow were doing landscaping work with an inmate crew at Clark Rifles, 25115 N.E. Rawson Road, east of Hockinson, said spokeswoman Danette Gadberry. A crew supervisor noticed the pair were missing around 1:30 p.m. and launched a search with help from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Corrections escape response teams.

Residents in the area received a phone alert letting them know about the escaped prisoners.

At the time of their escape, the two men were wearing typical work crew attire: red shirts with white shirts underneath, and khaki pants, Gadberry said.

McLain is serving time for five counts of forgery, two counts of second-degree theft and drug violations, all committed in Clark County. He was scheduled to be released from prison on April 29, 2017. Marlow is incarcerated on five counts of property crimes committed in Snohomish County. His release was scheduled for Dec. 14, 2016.

Both will likely face administrative sanctions and lose any time-reduced sentence for good behavior. They also may face new criminal charges, Gadberry said.

Anyone who sees Marlow should not approach or apprehend him, Gadberry said. Those who see him are asked to call 911 and the Larch Corrections Center at 360-260-6300.
