A Volusia County man escaped from the Florida Department of Corrections Work Release Camp in Sharpes Friday evening and may be headed this way.

Nathan Barker, 22, left the work area in an unknown direction from Camp Road in Cocoa, according to the Brevard County Sheriff's Office. He was last seen wearing a “fluorescent green” clothing/work uniform and had an ankle monitor, but the sheriff's office believes he has removed the GPS.
