Authorities in Oregon announced that a murder suspect who was mistakenly released from prison earlier this week has been recaptured after a multi-day manhunt ensued.
Ty Anthony Sage, 26, was erroneously released from the Multnomah County Detention Center in Portland after posting bail on Monday, as reported by the sheriff’s office.
“Ty Sage should never have been able to post bail,” Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O’Donnell said in a press release.

“To the family of Lowgunn Ivey, the young man who was killed, I want to acknowledge the fear and trauma that this mistaken release has caused,” Morrisey O’Donnell stated.
The victim’s mother, Jodie Ramsey, expressed her frustration over the incident while also sharing her relief that the alleged killer of her son had been apprehended, according to FOX 12.
“I feel like they let me down,” Ramsey told the outlet. “I feel like they failed the community as well, not just me, but they put everyone else’s safety at risk because he’s an accused child killer. There’s no telling what he could have done out there.”
Ramsey is reportedly considering filing a lawsuit against the county, but has yet to make a final decision.
MCSO did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
“Reliving the whole situation,” Ramsey said. “I mean, I’m going to have to live with it for the rest of my life anyway, but just having to reopen some wounds that haven’t completely healed yet is devastating for me.”
