The Wyoming Department of Corrections has confirmed that escaped inmate Jason Green has been apprehended Mesquite, Texas. Inmate Robert Simpson remains at large and is potentially still in the Mesquite and greater Dallas/Fort Worth area.
According to a public safety announcement on the Mesquite Police Department’s Facebook page, police responded to a suspicious person call in the early morning hours of Sunday, September 29. Police observed two individuals running from the location on foot. Green was captured but the other individual (believed to be Simpson) got away.
Simpson and Green escaped from the Wyoming Honor Conservation Camp in Newcastle, Wyoming on Sunday, September 22. It is believed the inmates stole a city truck in Newcastle and drove to Laramie, Wyoming that night. They abandoned the truck at a roofing company in Laramie and may have stolen a black Subaru near that location.

He has a tattoo of a domino and hell cat on his right arm with other tattoos on his chest, abdomen and back. He was last seen with a beard and sometimes has black eye glasses.

The whereabouts of “Shadow”, a black lab-mix that Simpson stole from the Wyoming Honor Camp’s Project LOVED canine program, remains unknown.
It’s not certain at this time when Green will be returned to Wyoming and what additional charges he will face. Prior to their escape Green was serving a 3-8 year sentence for Larceny and Simpson was serving a 5-15 year sentence for Aggravated Burglary with a weapon.
