Prosecutors filed formal charges Wednesday against a Yakima man accused of child rape. Travis Padgett is also charged with giving methamphetamine to a minor.
A felon on the loose seemed to be thumbing his nose at police and the court system. Now police put Jacob Lucey, 29, back behind bars where he's supposed to be.
Yakima police are still searching for the convicted felon who was given a 24-hour furlough to see his dying mother. Officers have not been able to track down 29-year-old Jacob Lucey.
You would like to think the court system works the way it's supposed to. Action News learned a convicted felon with an extensive rap sheet got out of jail for a day and hasn't been back seen since. Now, he's suspected of committing new crimes.
