CLARK COUNTY Wash. (KPTV) - A man is wanted after he was mistakenly released by the Clark County Jail last week instead of being returned to Oregon custody, according to the Oregon Department of Corrections on Sunday.

Officials with Clark County said 27-year-old Maurice Xavier Haynes was mistakenly released after a court appearance with Judge Gregerson in connection to a Clark County Superior Court case.

Officials said Haynes was supposed to have been returned to the Oregon State Penitentiary after his sentencing in Clark County, but that information was not entered correctly at the time of booking, and he was released to the street on Oct. 28 at 8 p.m.

"We are reviewing and analyzing how this occurred to prevent this from happening in the future. It is with our sincerest apologies to you that this occurred," Clark County officials said in a message to ODC that ODC forwarded to FOX 12 on Sunday.

Haynes is about 6-feet, 3-inches tall and 160 pounds. He also has a tattoo on the inside of his right forearm that reads "Markisha."
