Parolee--A story Thursday incorrectly described a 20-year-old fugitive as an escapee of the California Youth Authority in Camarillo. Martin Lopez, a former ward of the authority, was arrested this week because he had been missing on parole.
Deputies went to the Yucca Drive area about 11 a.m. after receiving a call about a fight. They spotted Lopez when they arrived.
A deputy and his trained dog apprehended Lopez after a chase through several backyards.
