Authorities from the Prison Police detained Rodney Rubio Soto, who had escaped on Wednesday night from the institution, located in Pococí.
He didn’t escape alone: Olman Espinoza and Raudi Padilla also escaped, but they have not been located yet.
Several operations have been carried out to find them. David Delgado, a spokesman for the Justice Ministry, confirmed the arrest took place near Santa Clara gas station.
Rodney Rubio was serving a 7-year sentence for aggravated robbery. He entered the penal center on August 22nd, 2014 and he was supposed to be released on October 22nd, 2018.
Meanwhile, Raudy Padilla Jiménez serves a 12-year sentence for homicide and Espinoza Jiménez serves a 3-year sentence for aggravated robbery.
Judicial authorities indicated that the 3 of them were in a minimum-security regime, which means they had very little supervision.
