ORANGE, Calif. (AP) -
An inmate who escaped from Orange County's biggest jail has been found at an Oceanside motel.
Sheriff's Lt. Joe Balicki says officers working on a tip arrested 26-year-old Saith Na without incident about 5:30 a.m. Saturday.
Na was discovered missing Friday during a routine inmate count at the Theo Lacy jail in Orange. Officials locked down the facility but did not immediately find signs of an escape.
He was scheduled to go on trial March 12 on charges of possession of a gun by a felon, possessing a gun on school grounds, possession of a controlled substance while armed, and street terrorism.
Balicki says Na will face additional felony escape charges.
