A Wyoming inmate who was mistakenly released from prison is back in custody. The state Corrections Department says 28-year-old Arthur Penrod was apprehended by police in Riverton on Monday, about a week after his inadvertent release. The agency says Penrod was found at his girlfriend's house and was taken into custody without incident. Penrod was released from the Wyoming State Penitentiary in Rawlins early last week after finishing a sentence for burglary. However, authorities determined after his release that he was supposed to have started serving a consecutive sentence for aiding in an aggravated assault. The Corrections Department is conducting an internal investigation into the mistake.
