Oklahoma Escapee Captured in L.A.

DOC

 

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections says an escape from a state prison has been recaptured in California. The department said in a news release Tuesday that 27-year-old Rhodrick Walden was found in Los Angeles after the U.S. Marshal's Metro Fugitive Task Force in Oklahoma City received a tip regarding his location. The DOC said previously that Walden was an inmate at the medium security Jackie Brannon Correctional Center in McAlester when he apparently walked away from a work crew last week.
