Booking deputies found Huerta in a cell used for inmates who are pending release. BCSO said he was later placed into “Emergency Management Intensive Supervision Status.”
Huerta’s original charges were felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance. He will also be charged with attempted escape, according to BCSO.
