Pima County deputies search for escaped inmate
TUCSON, Ariz. - The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of a Pima County jail inmate who escaped last week and remains on the run.
Deputies say 43-year-old Oscar Alday had walked out of the Pima County Adult Detention Complex at around 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 20 while other arrestees were being released from custody.
He has previous convictions in the county for aggravated assault, kidnapping, burglary and flight from an officer.
According to court documents, Alday was placed on probation in July 2021 for an unlawful imprisonment case from the year before.
He's described as a 6', 185-pound Hispanic male with a buzz cut and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing white boxers and no shoes.
Authorities said Alday has a long and violent criminal history in the Tucson area and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Tucson police said they are conducting an administrative investigation into the jail escape and will address issues as part of a formal review and take corrective action.
