Federal and local law enforcement agencies are searching for an inmate who escaped from the Federal Correctional Complex in Lompoc on Thursday.

Omar Briceno-Quijano, 35, who was discovered missing from the minimum-security complex at approximately 4 p.m., was serving a 14-year sentence for drug-related offenses and money laundering. It is suspected he walked away from the minimum security prison camp.

Briceno-Quijano is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 7 inch tall, weighing 197 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

Investigators are asking anyone with information about Briceno-Quijano to contact the U.S. Marshals Service at (805) 346-2728.

So if he is serving a 14 year sentence why is he in camp and not behind an electrified fence….
