Ex-Actor Jason Hoganson Evades Arrest After Early Prison Release

Hoganson, freed under a scheme to ease prison overcrowding, is wanted for breaching restraining orders and assault.

Jason Hoganson, a former actor known for his role in the 1987 film 'Empire State,' is actively evading arrest after breaching his release conditions.
Hoganson was released from Durham Prison on September 10, serving half of an 18-month sentence for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
Police issued a warrant for his arrest following allegations of assault and two counts of breaching a restraining order against the same former partner.
The early-release scheme, which aims to reduce overcrowding in prisons, has seen over 1,700 prisoners freed, raising concerns about public safety.
Authorities have warned the public not to approach Hoganson and reminded that harboring a wanted person is a prosecutable offense.
