OSSIPPE, N.H., — The two inmates participating in the reentry program of the Maine Coastal Regional Reentry Center in Belfast, and who walked away from the facility Sept. 29, have been arrested by New Hampshire police.

Dakota Raven, 24, of Knox, and Cameron Dana, 24, of Owls Head, were both assigned to facility maintenance duties which include removal of rubbish from the facility. While performing those duties both individuals broke custody by walking away from the facility, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

On Sunday, October 4, Officers from the Ossipee Police Department in New Hampshire received a report of a suspicious vehicle parked in the area of a boat launch at a local campground, according to the Waldo County Sheriff’s Office.

When officers arrived, they located a 2002 Ford Ranger bearing Maine registration plates. The officer researched the vehicle information and learned the truck had been reported stolen from Searsport October 2.

Officers had seen two males walking in the immediate area and when they attempted to locate them they observed they were no longer on the roadway.

A K9 unit was called to the scene and after a short track Dana and Raven were found sitting in a stream, the S.O. said.

Both had been sentenced and classified as Minimum Security in Maine.

Dakota Raven was sentenced on traffic offenses including eluding an officer, criminal speed and operating without a license. Cameron Dana was sentenced on the charge of escape, which was the result of his violation of a home release program.
