Work release escapee sentenced

HOUGHTON — A man who walked away from work release in Houghton County will spend an additional six months in jail.

Kevin Anderson, 27, was sentenced Monday in Circuit Court.  He pleaded guilty to an amended charge of attempted escape from a misdemeanor jail sentence.

Anderson was two weeks into a 30-day jail sentence when he walked into the woods at the Houghton County Airport earlier this month.
