(KSL News) Police are looking for two felons who escaped from a drug treatment facility in Iron County.
Sammy Swickey and Dustin Overson , both 19, allegedly walked away from Horizon House at 54 N. 200 East in Cedar City around 8 p.m. Friday.
Police say the pair were in jail on felony charges but were undergoing court-ordered treatment at the time. The Salt Lake Tribune reports Overson was in treatment after pleading guilty in abeyance to second-degree felony burglary and misdemeanor theft. It says Swickey had pleaded guilty to third-degree felony illegal possession and use of a controlled substance and was charged with two third-degree felony counts of distributing a controlled substance.
They now face possible charges for escape and violating the court order for treatment.
Cedar City police ask anyone who's seen Swickey or Overson since Friday night to call them at 435-586-9445.
