KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say a Milwaukee man who escaped from a minimum security facility in Kenosha July 3 has turned himself in.

Department of Corrections spokesman John Dipko says 29-year-old Eric Adams surrendered about 1:30 p.m. Saturday at a detention facility in Milwaukee.

Dipko says the department will recommend that Adams be charged with escape, which usually results in three to five years in prison.

He says Adams fled through an unlocked door at the Kenosha Correctional Center after officers found him talking on a cell phone in his room. The prison has no perimeter fence and is primarily for inmates on work release.

Adams was serving a 20-year sentence for a 1999 felony murder-armed robbery but was up for parole this October.
