SIOUX FALLS (AP) — A work release inmate is back in custody after failing to return on time to a minimum-security unit of the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls.

Corrections officials say 35-year-old Jason Lucas returned to the facility Sunday afternoon. He had left Sunday morning to go to his job.

Lucas is serving a five-year sentence for drunken driving.
