Inmate Lopez, a minimum-custody inmate assigned to the institution’s
dairy, walked away from the Minimum Support Facility at Deuel Vocational
Institution (DVI) early Monday morning.
Investigative Services Unit (ISU) Officers, acting on a tip from a Tracy
resident who reported a possible sighting of Lopez, responded to the downtown
area of Tracy. When they arrived, ISU staff identified Lopez and took him into
custody without incident. Lopez was transported back to DVI and placed in
Administrative Segregation.
Of all offenders who have escaped or walked away from an adult
institution, camp or community-based program since 1977, 98.7 percent have been
apprehended.
