California authorities have captured an inmate who escaped from San Quentin and went on the run for four days.
Shalom Mendoza, 21, was taken into custody at a Taco Bell in Paso Robles, more than 200 miles southeast of the prison, on Saturday after receiving a tip from a member of the public.
Mendoza had ditched his prison outfit and was wearing dark clothing at the time he was apprehended.
He's suspected of carjacking a vehicle after fleeing a minimum-security work assignment outside the prison walls.
