A 37-year-old man who walked away from a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation reentry program in Los Angeles was apprehended in the Inland Empire this week.
Jeremy D. Hendricks had last been seen on Sept. 27 near Hill and 37th Streets after tampering with his ankle monitor, CDCR officials said in a statement. An emergency count at the Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) confirmed he was missing.
After six days on the lam, Hendricks was located and taken into custody without incident in San Bernardino, CDCR announced late Friday.
He is set to be rehoused at a prison while the District Attorney’s office files escape charges, corrections officials said.
Hendricks was received from Los Angeles County on Oct. 11, 2012, to serve a 20-year sentence for assault with a semiautomatic firearm, with a firearm-use enhancement, and second-degree robbery, both as a second striker.
He had been housed at the Los Angeles MCRP since Aug. 13 of this year, where eligible offenders serve the final portion of their sentences while receiving rehabilitative services to help transition back into the community.
Since 1977, 99 percent of the incarcerated people who have escaped or walked away from an adult institution, camp, in-state contract bed or Community Rehabilitative Program Placement have been apprehended, CDCR says.
The post Man, 37, who walked away from CDCR reentry program apprehended appeared first on KTLA.
