CLERMONT, Fla. - A prisoner escaped from a state correctional facility Thursday in Lake County, prompting a manhunt, sheriff's officials said.

However, deputies discontinued their search for the man, Alinton H. John, when they developed information that he was no longer in Lake County, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office on Thursday night.

There weren't any reported sightings of John in the county, either.
