Released and caught in the same day: Inmate returns to Prince William jail

Police found Jacques Lamar Walker in Gainesville after they let him out of jail.

Police tell us he didn’t put up a fight when he was arrested again.

Walker was at the Prince Willam County Adult Detention Center in Manassas when he was mistakenly released on Thursday. A press release states:
