Jail Escapee Now Carjacking Suspect
An inmate awaiting sentencing on federal drug charges escaped from a downtown San Bernardino jail Monday, then apparently carjacked a vehicle to flee the area, authorities said.
Adrian Carrillo, 24, of Compton was discovered missing during a 6:55 a.m. head count at the San Bernardino County Central Detention Center. He apparently escaped while on kitchen duty, said sheriff’s spokesman Chip Patterson.
Investigators are unsure how the 5-foot-9, 150-pound inmate escaped but suspect he did so when supplies were delivered to the jail’s kitchen, Patterson said.
