Jack Wyatt was located in the city of Glendora and taken into custody without incident by CDCR Special Service Unit agents, along with the assistance of the Long Beach and Glendora Police Departments. Wyatt will be transported to California Institution for Men, and his case will be referred to the San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office for consideration of escape charges. He will no longer be eligible to serve his time in a conservation camp.
