At just before 12:00 p.m. a community member notified law enforcement they had seen Ledesma in the downtown Salem area. Officers from the Salem Police Department located Ledesma and stayed with him while waiting for deputies to arrive. Ledesma has been taken back to Marion County Jail pending transfer to the Oregon Department of Corrections.
Sheriff Joe Kast stated, “the Sheriff’s Office recognizes an incident such as this is concerning to our community members. While we know Ledesma was released on November 22, we did not become aware of the administrative error until November 30. We will be conducting a review of the circumstances which led to Ledesma’s release to ensure we are able to address any policies, procedures or other factors which may have contributed to him being released from custody.”
The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank our community members, Salem Police Department, and Oregon Department of Corrections for their efforts in the safe apprehension of Ledesma.
