During the escape attempt, Hernandez fell or jumped from the makeshift rope at about the fourth floor and was found and arrested.
Robledo escaped, and authorities launched an hours-long manhunt. He was taken back into custody Friday afternoon, according to Oklahoma City Police.

KOCO-TV reported that records show Robledo was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail in June 2019 on several charges, including first-degree murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and misdemeanor domestic abuse.
Court records show he had pleaded not guilty and was set for trial beginning Aug. 31.
