State sheriff’s deputies arrested a 38-year-old work furlough inmate at Ala Moana Beach Park today after he failed to return to the Oahu Community Correctional Center Thursday night.

Just before 10:20 a.m., sheriff’s deputies located Samuel Campbell at the beach park after they tracked him via a GPS ankle bracelet he was wearing.

The Hawaii Department of Public Safety said Campbell failed to return to Module 20 by 8:30 p.m. Thursday. Sheriffs and police were notified.

Campbell is serving time for unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle.
