OKLAHOMA CITY - Joey Mena, 45, an inmate who walked away from Bill Johnson Correctional Center (BJCC) in Alva on March 18, has been safely returned to custody.
Inmate Mena was taken into custody around noon on Friday by fugitive apprehension agents from Oklahoma Department of Corrections and U.S. Marshals Service. Agents located Mena at a residence near SE 45th in Oklahoma City. There, agents made contact with Mena and Michelle Kjeldgaard, and both were taken into custody. Kory Keaton, a resident of the home in which Mena was found, was also taken into custody.
Kjeldgaard and Keaton were later booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center where they are expected to face charges for harboring a fugitive.
Inmate Mena, who was serving a 165-day sentence for larceny of an automobile, grand larceny, and possession of stolen property when he walked away from BJCC, will be transported to Lexington Assessment and Reception Center (LARC) where he will await additional charges.
