An inmate walked away from Mule Creek State Prison Ione on Thursday, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officials said Friday morning.
Zechariah Lee was reported missing at 9:24 p.m. Thursday after an inmate count, CDCR said in a news release.

Lee, 34, is described as a white man, 5-foot-9 and 210 pounds. Lee has tattoos on his head and neck.
Anyone who sees Lee or has knowledge of his whereabouts should immediately call 911 or contact local law enforcement.
