Shaquile Lash, 28, was released from the Sacramento County Main Jail at about 10:30 p.m., authorities said. "This is a very unsettling sort of incident," although it appeared Lash didn’t commit any more crimes before he was rearrested in Stockton, Sacramento County sheriff’s Sgt. Rod Grassmann toldLash went to state prison in 2013 from San Joaquin County.
The department has acknowledged that it was bilked out of billions of dollars in unemployment benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, issuing some in the names of people who were in prison, including death row inmates.
