A Texas escapee who was serving 20 years in prison was taken into custody after a brief manhunt Sunday.
Inmate Kidanny Robles, 33, was shot in the arm after not obeying commands. He was taken into custody about 3 miles from the Clemens Unit trusty camp in Angleton, where he was serving his sentence, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said.
Robles will face felony escape charges, it said.
Robles was discovered missing from the low-level facility during a routine inspection at midnight Sunday, the department said.
Officials said Robles, who is serving a 20-year sentence for aggravated robbery, robbery and burglary, as well as a subsequent 180-day sentence for possession of a controlled substance, walked away from the facility, the department said.
The facility is a housing camp outside the main prison for inmates requiring a lower level of supervision, the department said.
After being released on parole in 2021, Robles returned to the camp for a parole violation in 2023, the department said.
