The BCSO said the booking staff at the Justice Intake Center noticed around 3:30 a.m. that Castillo was not present during a head count after being negligently released. 

Castillo was arrested Sunday for possession of a controlled substance under 4 grams and possession of a criminal instrument, the press release said.

Castillo will now have an additional charge of escape from a correctional institution, a second-degree felony, the BCSO said.
