SIOUX FALLS (AP) — A South Dakota inmate has pleaded guilty to escaping after receiving a furlough to attend a funeral.

Twenty-two-year-old Barry Allman, of Hermosa, was released from federal custody for the funeral last November and failed to return. He was captured in Rapid City about a month later.

Allman had pleaded guilty to assault charges for firing a handgun at a party on the Rosebud Indian Reservation and injuring two men with ricochets.

U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson says Allman faces up to five years in prison on the escape charge.
