#LASD Escapee Christopher Brown Captured
On Wednesday, April 2, 2014, at approximately 9:20 PM, an informant called the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s (LASD) Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau (SHB) stating he believed he observed a man outside the Pico Youth and Family Center near Pico Boulevard and Lincoln Boulevard, Santa Monica who matched the description of Escapee Christopher Brown. Suspect Brown escaped from the custody of the LASD Inmate Reception Center (IRC) on Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Suspect Brown had been arrested by Alhambra Police Department on December 3, 2013 for a felony charge of Burglary.
SHB personnel immediately contacted Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) personnel while continuing to communicate with the informant on another telephone line. SHB personnel coordinated with SMPD who sent patrol units to the location. SMPD officers contacted the suspect, determined he was the escapee and took him into custody without incident.
LASD Major Crimes Bureau detectives, who were coincidently in the field searching for the suspect, immediately responded to SMPD to transfer Suspect Brown to IRC for booking. He is currently being held without bail and will have an added charge of Escape.
