Authorities in northeast Kansas are searching for an escaped inmate.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports that 29-year-old Raheem K. Armstead walked away from the Leavenworth County jail Saturday afternoon.

A police advisory says Armstead has a history of fighting with and eluding police. He could be traveling south from the jail in an unknown color 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo.

He was convicted in 2008 of robbery and aggravated burglary.
