A man convicted of an Alhambra burglary who then escaped from county jail was captured Wednesday in Santa Monica.

At about 9:20 p.m., a tipster called the Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau and said he saw a man outside the Pico Youth and Family Center near Pico Boulevard and Lincoln Boulevard who matched the description of Christopher Lee Brown, according to Lt. David Oliva of the sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau.

Deputies notified Santa Monica police. Officers arrested the 37-year-old Brown without incident.

Oliva said detectives from major crimes, who were coincidently in the field searching for Brown, went to the Santa Monica Police Department and transferred Brown to the Inmate Reception Center.

It’s the same downtown facility where he escaped from on March 12. Deputies said Brown posed as another inmate and walked out.

Earlier that day, he was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for stealing two laptop computers and three flash drives with the personal information of 729,000 patients from an AHMC Healthcare Inc. facility in Alhambra last year. The computers weren’t found but no identity theft issues related to the theft have been reported.

Oliva says that Brown is now facing an escape charge.

As of Thursday, booking records show Brown is being held at Men’s Central Jail without bail. He has a Friday court date in a Los Angeles courtroom. The department’s release did not mention a $20,000 reward offered recently for information leading to Brown’s capture.
