Wilson said earlier Thursday said they have received a credible tip that Buffington had been spotted in Logan County Thursday morning, about a mile east of the Sebastian County line.
Buffington was serving a 240-month sentence at the Arkansas Department of Corrections’ Pine Bluff Unit when he reportedly walked away from his work assignment June 21.
