An arrest warrant has been issued for an inmate that failed to return to the Stan Daniels Healing Centre Friday.

26-year-old Garrett Leland Blackman, who is currently serving a four year sentence for manslaughter, was away from the minimum security federal institution with an authorized temporary absence.

Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) contacted the police when the inmate did not return on time.

CSC said Blackman is 5-foot-11 and 261 pounds, and he has tattoos on his arms, hands, chest and back.

CSC and EPS are working together to find Blackman, and they ask anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact police.
