Authorities: 2 teens escaped from Madison detention center
MADISON — Authorities in Madison County are looking for two teens who escaped from a detention facility there.
A third teen — a 14-year-old from the Columbus area — was apprehended immediately after Thursday night’s escape from the Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Detention Center.
Sheriff Vern Hjorth says the teens damaged a door in a nonsecure area of the center and escaped.
A Madison resident reported his truck stolen early Friday morning, and it is believed that the teens took the vehicle and abandoned it after a pursuit near Walthill.
