Kentucky law enforcement officials are searching for an "armed and dangerous" man who escaped from a facility on Wednesday.
Kyle Aaron Skaggs allegedly escaped from a Kentucky facility on Wednesday and is considered "armed and dangerous," according to the Fleming County Sheriff's Office.
Officials in Kentucky did not disclose what Skaggs had been charged with in their press release about the escape. Information about Skaggs was not available on Kentucky's public inmate database.
The Fleming County Sheriff's Office and Kentucky State Police did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
The escape follows several notable inmate escapes across the United States.
