According to a public safety announcement on the Mesquite Police Department’s Facebook page, police responded to a suspicious person call in the early morning hours of Sunday, Sept. 29. Police observed two individuals running from the location on foot. Green was captured but the other individual, believed to be Simpson, got away.

Simpson and Green escaped from the Wyoming Honor Conservation Camp in Newcastle, Wyoming, on Sunday, Sept. 22. It is believed the inmates stole a city truck in Newcastle and drove to Laramie that night. They abandoned the truck at a roofing company in Laramie and may have stolen a black Subaru near that location.

Robert Simpson

Simpson is five foot, 10 inches, approximately 165 pounds, blond hair and blue eyes. He is 30 years old. He has a scar on the bridge of his nose, on right forearm, and on the left hand. He has a tattoo of a domino and hell cat on his right arm with other tattoos on his chest, abdomen and back.

He was last seen with a beard and sometimes has black eye glasses.

Texas authorities have asked that anyone with information about the location of Robert Simpson to call Crime Stoppers at 214-373-TIPS; or contact the Mesquite Police Department at 972-285-6336.

The whereabouts of “Shadow,” a black lab-mix that Simpson stole from the Wyoming Honor Camp’s Project LOVED canine program, remains unknown.

It’s not certain at this time when Green will be returned to Wyoming and what additional charges he will face. Prior to their escape Green was serving a 3-8 year sentence for Larceny, and Simpson was serving a 5-15 year sentence for aggravated burglary with a weapon.
