An inmate with a violent history, who managed to escape from San Benito County Jail in Hollister earlier this week, has been apprehended in San Jose. Daniel Lopez Zavala, who evaded authorities by scaling a barbed-wire fence, was captured at a hotel in San Jose on Wednesday evening. Accompanying him was his girlfriend, Luz Mendoza, who is now facing possible charges for aiding in his escape.

The swift capture of Lopez Zavala was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office, San Jose Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies. Sheriff Eric Taylor expressed his gratitude to all involved in bringing the fugitive back into custody.

Lopez Zavala, a known gang associate with a violent criminal history, including charges related to firearms and child abuse, poses a significant threat to public safety. Sheriff Taylor emphasised that the investigation into the escape incident is ongoing, with a focus on identifying any accomplices who assisted Lopez Zavala in evading capture.

It was initially suggested that the escape was facilitated by a lack of jail staffing, but Sheriff Taylor is determined to uncover all the factors that contributed to this security breach. The authorities are committed to holding all individuals involved in aiding the escape accountable for their actions.

As the legal proceedings unfold, it is imperative for the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity that may be linked to Lopez Zavala or his associates.
