Inmate missing from Cape Cod work detail

Police are still seeking a Barnstable County Correctional Facility inmate two days after he walked away from a work detail in Brewster. Sixty-year-old David Nickerson allegedly fled from the painting job he was working at the town’s fire station Wednesday afternoon, the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office said. Nickerson was almost 10 months into a two-year sentence for his third offense of operating under the influence and other motor vehicle violations, sheriff’s spokesman Roy Lyons said. Nickerson would have been eligible for parole in February, but Lyons said that if captured, he is unlikely to be freed at that time and would face additional charges for the escape.
