Hawaii Island police have located 20-year-old Railee Keoni Santos of Mountain View, who reportedly escaped from the Hale Nani correctional facility on Feb. 16.
A Puna Patrol officer located him in Mountain View at 4:45 p.m. Thursday and arrested him on suspicion of escape, officials said.
Santos will be held at the Hilo police cellblock while detectives from the Area I Criminal Investigations Section continue the investigation.
The state Department of Public Safety said that once Santos is charged and released by Big Island police, Hawaii Community Correctional Center will be notified to take custody and return Santos to the facility.
Santos is serving time for Terroristic Threatening. His sentence end date was June of this year. Second-degree escape is expected to be added to his charges.
