At approximately 5:35 p.m. on June 17, CDCR special agents took 25-year-old Aleisha Schmitz into custody without incident in North Hills, Calif.

She was received from Los Angeles County on July 7, 2022, sentenced to three years for second-degree robbery and hit and run causing injury of person other than self.
