A convict who walked away from a minimum-security correctional facility in Central California this week was apprehended Wednesday in San Diego.
Ashiel Bahar, 37, surrendered to authorities without incident shortly after 8 a.m., the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation reported. The exact location of his arrest was not released.
Bahar, a second striker under California's "three strikes" law, had been discovered missing from Owens Valley Conservation Camp in Bishop at about 3 a.m. Tuesday, according to CDCR public affairs.
Bahar was sentenced in San Diego County last November to a four-year prison term for burglary, grand theft, identity theft and attempting to evade police while driving recklessly.
