Authorities sought the public’s help Thursday to find a state prison inmate who ran away from a Los Angeles County re-entry facility.
Shane McCain, 40, was transferred from the California Institution for Men to the local facility on Wednesday, and ran away later that night, said Bill Sessa of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
“McCain’s GPS (monitoring) device was found in one of the rooms at the facility during a search,” Sessa said.
McCain is white, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighs 180 pounds, and has blond hair. He was serving a three-year sentence for possession of a nunchaku and assault with bodily injury, and was scheduled to be released to probation in October.
Anyone seeing him or knowing his whereabouts was urged to call their local law enforcement authorities or 911.
