FAIRBANKS \u2014 Authorities are looking for a halfway house resident who escaped from a van that was transporting him back to the Fairbanks Correctional Center.<\/p>\n

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that 24-year-old Byron Alvin Toovak jumped out of the van last week while being driven to the jail at the request of his probation officer.<\/p>\n

The incident marked the second time Toovak has escaped from the halfway house in eight months.<\/p>\n

He reportedly walked away from the North Star Center in February while serving time for a felony drug conviction. He was arrested a month later and pleaded guilty to an escape charge in July.<\/p>\n

Toovak was jailed and transferred to the halfway house in August.<\/p>\n

He was last seen wearing a black jacket, gray hat and blue jeans.<\/p>\n
