New Jersey police are searching for an inmate convicted of attempted murder after he didn't return to his halfway house following a work detail Saturday.
Edward Berbon, 54, was being held at a halfway house in Camden County, New Jersey. By failing to return, he is now considered an escapee, police said.
Mount Laurel police said they have no information to suggest Berbon poses any threat to the public.
