MERCER COUNTY, NJ - The Mercer County Correction Center mistakenly released an inmate, the County announced Friday night. Clark Green Jr., an inmate being held at the Correction Center was mistakenly released from custody on Thursday, Sept. 23, around 8:30 p.m. in Trenton. Green, whose date of birth is Oct. 8, 1966, was being held at Mercer County Jail on a charge of theft by deception and while that case has been resolved, Green also had robbery offenses out of Ohio, Mercer County spokesperson said.

The U.S Marshal's NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force is the lead agency in this matter. Anyone who sees Green should not engage him or approach him, they should call 911, County officials said.
