Bastrop — Two inmates with drug-related convictions have fled from a federal prison facility about 30 miles southeast of Austin.
The Federal Correctional Institution in Bastrop was where 52-year-old Leandro Luna of San Angelo and 53-year-old Adan Chavez of Edinburg were held.
Federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Felicia Ponce (PONZ) said Monday that both men remained at large. Luna and Chavez were discovered missing Friday from a low-security area of the prison.
Luna was in prison since 2006, serving a decade-long term for importing marijuana. Prison officials believe he was spotted Friday night in Austin, where he has family.
Chavez was imprisoned since 1990, serving a 30-year sentence for cocaine and weapon convictions.
