Prison reports another walk away; Sunday walk aways back in custody

For the second time in three days, a Nevada prison inmate has walked away from a minimum custody situation.

Zachary David Tankersley, 20, was on a work crew for the forestry department near Highway 580 at South Meadows in Reno doing weed abatement when he left the area.

This disappearance follows the Sunday walkaway by two inmates at the Humboldt Conservation Camp northeast of Lovelock.

Both of those inmates have since been recaptured.

Tankersley is 5-feet 11-inches and 160 pounds with brown hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing prison issue blue jeans, a white T-shirt and black workboots.

He was serving 12-36 months for burglary out of Washoe County and was housed at Carson City’s Stewart Conservation Camp.

Nicco Donavan Way, 25, and James Westbrook, 23, disappeared from the Humboldt camp and were later that day seen at a Reno convenience store.

Way was caught by Reno police Monday after a citizen reported seeing a man sleeping near a business in Reno. Westbrook was taken into custody Monday night by the Elko County Sheriff’s office.

Both men are now in the medium security Northern Nevada Correctional Center in Carson City.
