Jail Accidentally Releases Inmate

The Sheriff’s Office announced that it accidentally released one of its inmates at 6 a.m. on 1/24 due to “procedural errors.” Eduardo Gonzalez, 26, was booked in County Jail on a domestic violence charge and was ineligible for release because of a probation violation hold and immigration detainer. But for reasons undisclosed, he was discharged, and authorities have so far been unable to locate him. “A thorough review of our internal policy is underway to ensure similar events do not occur again,” said Sheriff’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover.
