CRIME
Marin robbery convict
accused of camp escape
A state inmate serving time for a Marin County robbery case absconded from a minimum-security prison camp in Shasta County, authorities said.
Joseph Stewart, 31, was discovered missing at 7:30 a.m. Monday at the Sugar Pine Conservation Camp in Bella Vista. Camp staffers arrested him Tuesday morning in Redding.
The state prisons department planned to send Stewart to the Sierra Conservation Center, a prison in Tuolumne County, and refer his case to prosecutors for potential escape charges.
The department said that since 1977, 99% of the convicts who fled prisons, camps or programs were captured.
Stewart received a 10-year sentence in Marin last year for two drugstore robberies in San Rafael and San Anselmo. Stewart was a Novato resident at the time.
Stewart served prison time for a previous robbery conviction and was released on parole in January 2022, police said.
