A Marysville City Jail escapee is back in custody after breaking out and disappearing — unnoticed — for two days last week.
Rhyan Vasquez, 19, disappeared from from Marysville City Jail, north of Seattle, and faces a possible escape charge along with a previous robbery allegation,
The Daily Herald reported.
His absence wasn't noticed until last Wednesday when Vasquez's defense lawyer asked to see him, court papers said, but he couldn't be found.
Jail staff checked surveillance video and saw that Vasquez had backed out a door and into a hallway on Sept. 22 while a group of inmates was returning from a Bible study class held in a visitation area.
Vasquez was booked back into jail Friday. He was tracked down by two detectives who questioned his associates, said Robert Lamoureux, a police spokesman.
Defense lawyer James Feldman says another attorney from his office was representing Vasquez in the municipal case. That lawyer wasn't available Tuesday.
Feldman said all he knew was the lawyer went to the jail and Vasquez wasn't there.
"We obviously weren't involved in the planning," Feldman said.
