CANON CITY, CO -- An inmate escaped from Canon City's Four Mile Correctional Center Tuesday morning, the Colorado Department of Corrections reported.

Michael Onorato was missing at the 3 a.m. inmate count at the minimum security facility. Onorato was at work on an outside work crew at the cow dairy when he went missing, a statement from the CDOC said.

Onorato is currently serving concurrent sentences for Larimer County six- and three-year convictions for motor vehicle theft and robbery respectively, and a 20-month Denver County conviction for drug abuse.

The Colorado State Patrol classified Onorato as "dangerous" in a Tweet.
