John Strickland #212451 was spotted this morning by a staff person from the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) in the area of 16th and Farnam Street in Omaha. That staff person contacted authorities and waited until Strickland was taken into custody. Strickland left CCC-O on July 4, 2022.

Strickland started his sentence October 5, 2021. He was sentenced to three years on charges out of Hall County that include criminal mischief, theft (3rd offense), and terroristic threats. He has a tentative release date of January 26, 2023.
