SIX MILE — Authorities are asking for the public’s help finding a local inmate who walked off a job site just two weeks before his scheduled release on Monday.

Casey William Gillespie was cutting grass at a recycling center on Love and Care Road in Six Mile when he was last seen, according to a news release from county officials. His supervisor was on the premises and noticed Gillespie was gone, officials said.
