CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake Oaks man who walked away from the Lake County Jail’s minimum custody area on Sunday night has been taken back into custody.
David Allen Brown, 22, was arrested in Clearlake Wednesday night, according to Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
On Wednesday night Lake County Sheriff’s Office patrol deputies contacted officers with the Clearlake Police Department and provided them with information about where Brown might be hiding, Brooks said.
At approximately 11 p.m. Wednesday, deputies and three Clearlake Police officers responded to a residence in the 4000 block of West 40th in the city of Clearlake, where Brown was located and arrested without incident, Brooks said.
Brooks said Brown was transported to the Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked on the charges of escape from custody, which is a felony, and petty theft, which is a misdemeanor.
As a result of state correctional realignment, Brown was in the Lake County Jail serving a four-year sentence for resisting arrest, parole violation, under the influence of a controlled substance, vehicle theft, possession of stolen property and petty theft with prior convictions. He had been due for release this December.
