Jennifer P. Petersen could face up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine if found guilty of escape. According to the criminal complaint, Petersen failed to return to Dodge Jail, 216 W. Center Feb. 21 from her job in Juneau.

Correctional officers attempted to contact peo- ple in connection with Pe- tersen but were unable to find anyone who knew her whereabouts. The employer was con- tacted by deputies, who discovered Petersen had not been scheduled the ad- ditional three hours and left at her regular time of 3 p.m. Petersen was taken into custody by the Sun Prai- rie Police Department on March 5.

Petersen was scheduled to be released from Dodge County Jail on April 11 and was on Huber charges for a misdemeanor offense. She had been in the jail since June 20.
