January 7, 2016 (San Diego) — The California Department of Corrections is looking for two violent criminals who removed their ankle monitors in San Diego and walked away from the “Custody to Community Transitional Reentry Program (CCTRP) on January 4th.
A search of the women was conducted after they were discovered missing at 7:31 p.m. Local law enforcement agencies have been notified and are assisting in the search.
Tumoi King and Viviana Mendez were participating in the CCTRP, which allows eligible participants to serve the remainder of their sentence in a community program instead of state prison. Through the program, they can receive rehabilitative services such as alcohol and drug recovery, employment, education, housing, family reunification and social support.
King, 28, is a black female, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing 175 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. She was received by CDCR on Feb. 19, 2014, to serve five years for a second-degree robbery conviction in Riverside County. She has been participating in CCTRP since November 2014 and was scheduled to be paroled in October 2016.
Mendez, 20, is a Hispanic female, 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing 190 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was received by CDCR on Oct. 1, 2014, to serve a seven-year sentence for an assault with a deadly weapon conviction in Yolo County. She had been participating in CCTRP since September 2015. She was scheduled to be paroled in February 2017.
