Sheriff's officials say they notified the Department of Corrections in August that a Wyoming inmate who was mistakenly released from prison earlier this week had received a new sentence. Natrona County Sheriff's Lt. Mark Sellers says the corrections department was emailed Aug. 10th about 28-year-old Arthur Penrod, the same day he was sentenced for aiding in an aggravated assault in Casper. The email informed the DOC it needed to transport Penrod so he could serve time for a parole revocation - stemming from an early burglary conviction - and the new assault sentence of 5 to seven years. The Wyoming State Penitentiary in Rawlins released Penrod on Tuesday. The Department of Corrections says its central office got a copy of his sentencing information but the prison didn't. Penrod remains at large.
