(Memphis) A Shelby County Corrections inmate walked away from his work detail in downtown Memphis just after noon today.
Twenty-nine-year-old Michael Freeman left a clean-up crew at the MATA trolley line wood-working shop at 547 North Main.
He’s serving a three-year sentence for vandalism and petition to revoke a suspended sentence.
Freeman is 5’7″ and 155 lbs. He was wearing a light blue shirt with “SCDC” in yellow across the back. The letters were also in yellow along the sides of his jeans.
If you have any helpful information, contact Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH (2274).

Why is a three time joker allowed on a work detail? If this clown was in MS that third strike would have given him LIFE IN PRISON!!! I just hope that one day TN will take a page out of MS’s play book and start using the three strike law on non-violent felonies as well as the violent felonies! Come on law makers lets do something that makes sense

Do you wonder why people are leaving Memphis and taking their money and businesses. I did.

No one can blame you- I live in Reno NV- beautiful and we don’t have a lot of crime- very little blacks too.

Didn’t an offender sentenced to the same type “punishment” walk away from Lichterman Nature Center a month or tow ago?
