The CDCR said he will be taken to a prison and his case will be sent to the San Diego County District Attorney's Office for officials to consider filing charges related to the escape.
Lopez allegedly removed his GPS device and walked away from a Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) in San Diego County on Friday, April 18.
CDCR received Lopez from the county in September 2023 to serve a 5-year sentence and he had been housed at the MCRP since early March of this year.

Riverside County death sentence inmate killed, 30 men attack murder suspect
A Riverside County inmate sentenced to death was allegedly murdered in a state prison by another inmate, which led to a large mob attack on Friday morning, officials say. It happened around 10:30 a.m. at Kern Valley State Prison, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. At that time, homicide investigators say inmate Mario Renteria, 36, from Riverside County, allegedly began attacking the death sentence inmate, identified as 46-year-old Julian Mendez. Details on this initial altercation are limited; officials did not specify Renteria's actions other than that he was 'striking' Mendez, nor did they say whether Mendez fought back. CDCR said staff ordered the men to 'get down,' but that the inmates did not comply. 'Chemical agents initially stopped the attack, but more than 30 additional incarcerated people rushed Renteria and began striking him,' stated CDCR's release. 'Orders to stop were ignored and staff used multiple blast grenades to quell the violence.' As the mob was cleared, officials found Mendez with what was only described as 'multiple wounds,' and attempted life-saving measures. An improvised weapon was also found at the scene. Mendez was then taken to the prison's triage and treatment area, where a doctor pronounced him dead at 11:05 a.m. Officials said Mendez was received from Riverside County on Dec. 2, 2004, after he received a death sentence in 2002 for the first-degree murder of two teenagers. According to the 'Death Sentences Today' site curated by a Drake University Law School professor, Mendez committed the crime on Feb. 4, 2000, when he was 22 years old. The site says that, according to the defense in his trial, Mendez was a gang member when he beat a 15-year-old boy and shot him twice, including once in the head, before ordering another gang member to shoot a 14-year-old girl because she was a witness. 'The other gang member refused to shoot [the girl], so Mendez ultimately shot her,' stated the site's summary. 'In mitigation, the defense argued Mendez had spent most of his life in a gang, and his father spent half of his life in prison because of drug usage.' Following Mendez's death, CDCR said Renteria remains in restricted housing pending investigation into this case, and that 'officials have limited population movement to facilitate the investigation being conducted.' The release noted that Renteria was received from Riverside County on April 27, 2022, after he was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for first-degree murder (a third strike offense) and arson.

Man once convicted in Minnesota of supporting al-Qaida is now charged in Canada for alleged threats
MONTREAL -- A man who was once convicted in the United States of supporting al-Qaida has been charged in Canada after allegedly threatening an attack. Mohammed Abdullah Warsame, 51, allegedly told a homeless shelter employee in Montreal that he wanted to build bombs to detonate on public transit. He was charged with uttering threats. He was ordered at a court appearance in Montreal on Friday to undergo a 30-day psychological assessment and return to court July 7, according to the newspaper La Presse. 'Both parties have reason to believe that Mr. Warsame's criminal responsibility is in question in this case,' Vincent Petit, who represents Warsame, told the court. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed that he is the same Mohammed Warsame who spent 5½ years in solitary confinement before pleading guilty in Minnesota in 2009 to one count of conspiracy to provide material support and resources to al-Qaida, which the U.S. calls a terrorist organization that was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Warsame was sentenced to seven years and eight months in federal prison with credit for time served. He was deported to Canada in 2010 and had no fixed address at the time of the latest alleged incident. The Old Mission Brewery, which runs several homeless shelters in Montreal, contacted police after Warsame allegedly said on May 27 that he wanted to carry out an attack that would kill a large number of people. Warsame was hospitalized for psychiatric reasons, and he was formally arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Wednesday. The Somali-born Canadian citizen admitted in his 2009 plea agreement that he traveled to Afghanistan in 2000 to attend al-Qaida training camps, where he dined with the organization's founder, Osama bin Laden. Prosecutors say he later sent money to one of his training camp commanders and went to the Taliban's front line. Warsame later settled in Minneapolis, where he continued to provide information to al-Qaida associates. Prosecutors painted him as a jihadist who called his time in one training camp 'one of the greatest experiences' of his life. They said that even after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, he passed along information to al-Qaida operatives about border entries and whereabouts of jihadists — and only stopped when he was arrested in December 2003. But his attorneys depicted him as a bumbling idealist whom other fighters in the camps in Afghanistan viewed as ineffective and awkward. Warsame's case took unusually long to work through the U.S. court system partly because everyone — including the judge, defense attorneys and prosecutors — needed security clearances. Retired agent Harry Samit, who was the lead FBI investigator on the case and is now director of special investigations for the professional assessment company Pearson VUE in Bloomington, recalled in an interview Friday that Warsame's case was the second major al-Qaida case to break in Minnesota. It came after that of Zacarias Moussaoui, who took flight simulator training in Minnesota and remains the only person to stand trial in a U.S. court in the 9/11 attacks. Moussaoui was jailed on an immigration violation when hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center and Pentagon and crashed in a Pennsylvania field. Samit, whose books on the Minnesota cases will be published starting this summer, said the FBI got word as it was preparing for Moussaoui to stand trial that another al-Qaida operative was in Minneapolis. He said he is certain that Warsame was a sleeper agent who was waiting for instructions from his commanders before he was found. While Warsame was 'kind of a goofy, not very threatening guy,' Samit said, he and other agents who questioned him also concluded that he was 'pure of heart and he was dedicated to the cause.' He said that was apparently enough for al-Qaida leaders who sent him Minnesota, where at a minimum they used him to raise money. When Warsame was deported, the retired agent said, the FBI gave Canadian authorities a 'full accounting' of what it knew and why the bureau still considered him a threat. So he said wasn't surprised to learn this week, after all these years, that Warsame might still remain a danger to society.

Florida ex-sheriff arrested for allegedly running illegal gambling house that generated millions
A former Florida sheriff has been charged with racketeering and conspiracy after an investigation into an illegal gambling operation. Ex-Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez was arrested Thursday on first-degree felony charges over accusations he pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars and used campaign contributions to keep the alleged gambling operation afloat. "As law enforcement, we are held to higher standards of integrity and character than other professions," Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Mark Glass said in a statement. "This case revealed that Lopez violated the trust and integrity expected of him as the duly elected sheriff of Osceola County." Nba Player Investigated For Allegedly Manipulating His Playing Performance To Aid Illegal Gambling Scheme Fox News Digital has reached out to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office for comment. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Lopez after his arrest and appointed a Florida Highway Patrol officer, Christopher Blackmon, as interim sheriff. Lopez was elected in November 2020. Read On The Fox News App Lopez pleaded not guilty Friday to the charges, and he was given a $1 million bond, according to Fox 35.
