LOWER LAKE, Calif. – A minimum-security inmate from the California Correctional Center walked away from Konocti Conservation Camp on Friday evening.

Inmate James Bellino, 37, was last seen by camp staff at approximately 6:35 p.m., and was discovered to be missing for the inmate count at 8:20 p.m., according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or CDCR.

Bellino was assigned to an inmate firefighting crew at Konocti Conservation Camp, which houses approximately 100 minimum-custody inmates, authorities said.

Officials said Bellino was committed to the CDCR on Sept. 13, 2013, from Kern County for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, which was a second strike, and criminal threat to cause great bodily injury or death.

He was scheduled to be released from CDCR custody on July 3, 2016, state authorities reported.

CDCR and Cal Fire, along with local law enforcement agencies and the California Highway Patrol, were notified and are assisting in the search for Bellino, according to a CDCR report issued late Friday.

As of Friday night shortly before midnight, all responding law enforcement agencies were continuing with the search and apprehension efforts, CDCR said.

Bellino is a white male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 207 pounds, with green eyes and shaved head. Authorities said he was last seen wearing gray sweatpants, a white tank top and white tennis shoes.

Anyone seeing Bellino should call 911 or law enforcement authorities immediately.

Those with information about or knowledge of the location of Bellino should contact the CCC watch commander at 530-257-2181, Extension 4173.
