Laron Campbell,
26, was in custody and being taken back to Santa Clara County
jail where he escaped last Wednesday with Rogelio Chavez, 33,
who was still at large, the Santa Clara County Sheriff Office
said on Twitter.
The sheriff gave no details of Campbell's capture.
A 35-year-old woman was arrested on Monday on suspicion of
helping Chavez to escape, the Mercury News reported.
Chavez and Campbell were being held on charges including false
imprisonment and firearms violations.
Authorities have not said how the prisoners got their hands on
tools and said that no tools were found in the cell after the
escape on Wednesday night.
KNTV, an NBC affiliate, quoted a sheriff's spokesman as saying
they prisoners used clothes to climb down the side of the
building. A deputy on patrol noticed the clothing hanging from
the window, it said.
Two other inmates who broke out of the jail with the pair were
caught immediately, the sheriff's office said.
