SAN LUIS, AZ — Authorities say a prisoner who walked off during work duty in San Luis, Arizona, has been found and returned to custody.
According to the Arizona Department of Corrections, Jonathan Perryman was working Monday morning with a crew and was later unaccounted for.
Perryman is a minimum custody work crew member and was working at the recreation center in San Luis at the time. He was last seen by a supervisor walking into a restroom to wash paint off his hands.
A number of law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Office, helped in the search for Perryman.
Perryman was sentenced in November for misconduct involving weapons. He has no history of violence or prior violent convictions, according to ADCRR.
Officials said Tuesday morning that Perryman was found at a hotel in south Phoenix around 7 a.m.
He was returned to custody and will be housed in a high-custody unit.
