ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) An inmate inadvertently released from an Albuquerque jail is back in custody. KOB-TV reports that authorities say Taylor Roberts was located Wednesday night at a hotel after being wrongfully released from Metropolitan Detention Center. A hotel manager says Roberts checked in earlier in the day and paid for an entire month's stay.
Jail officials say employees made an error reading court documents, leading to them releasing Roberts.
According to a criminal complaint, Roberts allegedly damaged his ex-girlfriend's home in March and called her 300 times in three days. He also is accused of violating a restraining order by sending her several emails. Authorities say Roberts already has a warrant out of Kansas for several charges, including witness intimidation.
