Rothwell originally left the facility on an approved work pass.
Officials issued a warrant for escape after conviction on Rothwell.
Rothwell was apprehended Friday when he turned himself in to authorities, officials say. Now court information is pending.
Community corrections centers are Level 4 facilities where state officials manage offenders who are transitioning back into society, officials say.
These centers are different from Level 5 prisons in several ways. Offenders in Level 4 centers can leave the facility to go to work, seek jobs or attend approved treatment sessions.
