JUST IN: An ICE detainee escaped a Houston detention facility over the weekend.
According to ICE, around 11 a.m. Sunday, Ladislav Petro, a 51-year-old from Slovakia, somehow got out of the Houston Contract Detention Facility (HCDF). He has several criminal arrests and an Interpol Red Notice for production and distribution of child pornography.
A multi-agency search followed, and Petro was taken back into custody just over 24 hours later not far from the same facility, a spokesperson tells @KPRC2. He has now been transferred to the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe.
