Jesse A. Miller, the 19-year-old who allegedly phoned in the threats that led to a lockdown at University Hospital on Tuesday, is in custody this morning in San Diego.
Local police there arrested Miller, who had been missing from a work-release prison before the threatening calls Tuesday prompted campus-wide warnings and a search.
UW-Madison police department Sergeant Jason Whitney said today that Dane County Sheriff’s Office detectives will go to California to bring Miller back to Madison on a state probation violation. He was AWOL from the county’s Huber Law work release program since Sept. 8.
