Prisoner Escapes Pennsylvania Treatment House

A prisoner walked away from a group home early Monday, said Pennsylvania State Police.

David Allen Spurlin Jr. escaped from ADAPPT on Walnut Street in Reading shortly after midnight early Monday, police announced Tuesday.

Investigators didn’t reveal why the 25-year-old who stands around 5-feet, 6-inches tall and weighs around 185 pounds was court-appointed to the facility.

ADAPPT is a group home residential reentry facility that has been operating in Reading since 1992 and helps parolees and soon-to-be-released convicts learn skills and get treatment to prevent recidivism, according to site operator CEC.

Police asked anyone with knowledge of Spurlin’s whereabouts to contact the reading barracks at 610-378-4011.
