Two employees at the Ionia Correctional Facility where a convicted killer escaped for 24 hours have been suspended, officials said Friday.

The Corrections Department declined to release the names of the employees, but said one is a shift commander. The agency also did not provide details on the suspensions, but spokesman Russ Marlan confirmed that they were related to investigation of how Michael Elliot got away from the Ionia Correctional Facility.

"Our employees are required to follow procedures, policies, work rules," he said.
