Waiawa escapee back in custody after nine days on the run

Honolulu police arrested a 30-year-old prison escapee in Ewa Beach yesterday afternoon.

Sundance Cambra escaped from the Waiawa Correctional Facility on June 20.

He was returned to Waiawa in March after his parole had been revoked because he was caught on several occasions in possession of illegal drugs. Cambra was enrolled in a substance abuse rehabilitation program at Waiawa.

This is not the first time Cambra has tried to flee while in custody. Court records show Cambra was convicted in 2003 for trying to escape from a work release program at Oahu Community Correctional Center.
