DES MOINES – The Iowa Department of Corrections, Saturday, reported 33-year-old Brandon Allen Mitchell, who was convicted of Willful Injury in Polk County, left the Fort Des Moines Residential Correctional Facility without permission Friday night, and has not returned.

Mitchell is a white male, height 5’9″, and weighs 185 pounds. He was admitted to the work release facility on March 29, 2021. On a Des Moines television station’s social media post about his escape, Mitchell responded by saying through his social media post, “Lol I didn’t escape they opened the door and let me walk out of it… you guys act like I kicked some walls down and climbed over it.” He said tauntingly, also, that “They know where I’m at they always do someone will do there [sic] job for them.”
