At 12:30 a.m., CDCR officers, along with the assistance of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, located Martinez after following investigative leads. He was taken into custody without incident. Martinez will be transported to Wasco State Prison and his case will be referred to the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office for consideration of escape charges.
