Juan Padilla, 31, of Calexico, who escaped from the county chain gang on April 27 last, was caught by deputy Sheriffs McClelland and Freeman late yesterday afternoon on a ranch east of Calexico.
Padilla had been convicted on a charge of burglary and was sentenced to pay a fine of $500 or work it out at the rate of $3 a day on the chain gang. He took advantage of the freedom offered members of the working staff of the jail to shorten his detention.
