WENATCHEE – A man who reportedly escaped from an inmate work release job was taken back into custody Sunday after a standoff with police. Rigoberto Licea-Reyna had reportedly walked away April 27 from a crew that was helping set up for the Apple Blossom Festival. Officers spotted the escapee Sunday afternoon in the 200 block of North Franklin Avenue after a suspicious person call. The 48 year old reportedly ran and was tracked to a shed outside a home where he barricaded himself inside and the East Cascades SWAT was called and used flash bangs and a small explosive before he finally surrendered and was arrested.
