Police Seek Convict Who Walked Away From Trial

CUMBERLAND, Md. (AP) ―

Authorities in Allegany County are looking for a convict who went to lunch during his robbery trial and never came back.

State's Attorney Michael Twigg says 33-year-old Simeon Younger failed to return from a lunch break Thursday during his trial on robbery, assault and theft charges in Allegany County Circuit Court.

Younger was free on bail at the time.

Despite his absence, the trial resumed and he was convicted Friday of the charges.

Twigg says police consider Younger armed and dangerous.
