MIAMI (AP) - Authorities are searching for a 52-year-old inmate who was mistakenly released from jail in Miami.
Eduardo Cabana was freed “in error” on Monday, which was also his birthday, the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department said.
Jail officials said they don’t know how the error occurred, the Miami Herald reported.
Cabana was in jail on multiple charges, including obstruction by a disguised person, shooting or throwing a deadly missile and criminal mischief. He was also being held without bond on a probation warrant, records show.
The agency is hoping to find Cabana as quickly as possible, spokesman Juan Diasgranados said in a statement. An investigation into his early release is continuing.
State criminal records show Cabana has previously faced charges including robbery with a firearm, burglary and purchasing or selling cocaine.
Anyone who sees Cabana should call 911, the agency said.
