Escaped Inmate From Washington Arrested In Portland Wednesday; 2nd Inmate Remains At-Large

PORTLAND, OR — With help from an "alert citizen," Portland police on Wednesday morning arrested a man who escaped Washington State Department of Corrections custody while he worked on a fire crew for the Goldendale Department of Natural Resources on Tuesday, according to Portland police officials.

Tyray Hensley Munter, 30, reportedly escaped custody with another inmate, 22-year-old Maksim Konstantin Petrovskiy, around 2:30 a.m. Aug. 15. Portland police arrested Munter around 6 a.m. Aug. 16 near Southeast 82nd Avenue and Southeast Powell Boulevard in the Foster-Powell neighborhood.

Petrovskiy remains at large.

Munter was reportedly serving the second year of a six-year sentence for assault and theft charges out of Snohomish County in Northwest Washington. He was convicted June 28, 2016, and had an expected release date of May 2, 2020. No word on how his escape and subsequent recapture may affect his sentence.

Petrovskiy was serving the early months of a 33-month sentence for stealing a car in Snohomish County, police said. He was sentenced April 18 and was slated for release on Dec. 8, 2018.

Petrovskiy is described as a white male, 6-feet and 178 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone who sees Petrovskiy is asked not to approach him; instead, call the Olympic Corrections Center at 360-374-6181, or call 911.
