Overview
- A 25-year-old Carpinteria man, recently released from county custody, ran from an ICE agent and jumped a fence into the Main Jail’s secured exterior.
- Deputies searched the grounds and found him hiding between storage containers with non-life-threatening injuries.
- First responders took him to a hospital for treatment, and deputies cited him for trespassing into a restricted jail area.
- Deputies also handled a disabled ICE vehicle that had blocked the sheriff’s driveway, which was towed away without further incident.
- The report relies on a sheriff’s press release, and news outlets said DHS or ICE had not provided comment, reflecting how ICE often seeks custody at jail exits after local releases.
