LAKEPORT, Calif. – Sheriff's officials are attempting to locate a Lake County Jail inmate who walked away from the facility on Monday morning.
Roger Daniel Vigil, 49, of Clearlake, was working outside the facility on the grounds when he walked away at approximately 9 a.m., according to Sgt. John Gregore of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff’s office personnel – including deputies, detectives and a K9 team – continued to search for Vigil early Monday afternoon, according to Gregore.
Vigil, who last September was sought as Clearlake's “most wanted,” was being held on bench warrants and a controlled substance charge, and the District Attorney's Office also had remanded him to custody, according to jail records.
Gregore said Vigil was an inmate worker assigned to minimum custody.
Vigil is described as a Hispanic male adult, 5 feet 7 inches tall and 155 pounds, with a shaved head and brown eyes, according to Gregore.
Gregore said Vigil has a tattoo of Mickey Mouse on his left arm and a tattoo of Jesus on his right arm. He also has a tattoo of a peacock on his back and another tattoo of a peacock on his right arm.
Vigil was last seen wearing a blue Lake County Jail shirt and blue jeans, Gregore said.
Anyone who may have information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch at 707-263-2690.
