A corrections officer tried to ask him about some cigarettes and a cellphone he wasn't supposed to have when authorities say he ran away from the detail.

Goodman is serving ten years for drug possession. He was part of a detail from the Dorsey Run Correctional Facility.

Corrections officials say he goes by the nickname "Mo."

He's 5 '10", weighs 260 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes.

He's known as "Mo" and has a scar on his left ankle.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1.
