Timothy Clausen remained at large Sunday, a day after law enforcement arrested a woman in north Omaha for helping him escape from prison.
Wanda Minor, 50, was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of aiding and abetting a felon, Nebraska State Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins said.
Clausen and Armon Dixon, inmates serving time on sexual assaults, escaped from the Lincoln Correctional Center, a prison for higher security inmates near Pioneers Park, on Friday, hiding in a laundry truck that left LCC at 9:15 a.m., according to court records.
They were spotted at 9:30 Friday morning, when a witness told police she saw two men in what looked like prison inmate uniforms acting suspiciously near U.S. 77 and Warlick Boulevard.
Soon after, a pickup was stolen from a nearby church. A pursuit ensued, with the escapees crashing into a parked SUV and running from the scene at 18th and F streets.

Dixon was picked up Saturday afternoon, emerging from a manhole cover at the roundabout of 49th and Francis streets following an intensive search.
Lincoln police said Clausen has not been sighted since fleeing from the stolen pickup Friday morning. The search continues.
"Based on investigative leads law enforcement officers from multiple jurisdictions are currently focusing their search for Clausen in the Omaha area,†the State Patrol said in a news release.
Clausen, 52, is black, 5-foot-8, 160 pounds with brown eyes. From Omaha, he is serving 50 to 55 years for first-degree sexual assault of a child and tampering with a juror, according to the Corrections Department.
Police encourage anyone with information to call 911 immediately. Like Dixon, Clausen is considered dangerous.
Dixon was taken into custody without incident, but that followed a report of an assault on two women at an apartment complex on the 5900 block of Norfolk Drive, along Dead Man's Run near Lincoln Lutheran High School.
The physical assault on the two women, ages 21 and 61, happened inside the apartment building, Lincoln Police Sgt. Jake Dilsaver said. Dixon was armed with a club-like object, according to an incident report.
The younger woman was treated and released at a local hospital. The other remained hospitalized Sunday evening, Dilsaver said.
Lincoln police continue to investigate the assault and are providing few details.
Dixon, 37, is serving 158 to 278 years for charges including first-degree sexual assault, robbery, first-degree assault, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, theft by receiving and possession of a controlled substance.
