Army rape suspect comes to LA County from Florida

LOS ANGELES - March 14, 2011

The Sheriff's Department said in a statement Sunday that 20-year-old Daniel Brazelton is being held Sunday on $325,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in a Lancaster court on March 23.

The statement says authorities brought Brazelton from Florida to South Los Angeles where he was booked on Thursday, then transferred him to county jail Saturday.

Brazelton, a native of Palmdale, created a nationwide manhunt when he escaped from military custody Feb. 11 while being returned to jail following a medical appointment. He was arrested Feb. 18 at a motel in Daytona Beach, Florida.
