PHOENIX -- Authorities have apprehended a man who escaped from an Arizona jail Sunday morning while being held on attempted murder and robbery charges.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says authorities captured 26-year-old Adan Orduno Jr. on Sunday evening in Phoenix.

Sheriff's spokesman Officer Christopher Hegstrom says Orduno was being housed in the county jail's psychiatric unit and was discovered missing just before 9 a.m.

Authorities originally thought Orduno might have been hiding somewhere at the sprawling south Phoenix jail, which also houses Arpaio's famous "tent city" lockup. But jail personnel searched the 600,000-square-foot complex and determined he wasn't here.

Arpaio says Orduno now faces additional charges related to the escape. Arpaio says an investigation into how he got out is under way.

    Good job Joe? I don't understand how Joe did a good job by catching someone that escaped from HIS jail. BAD job Joe, and the rest of MCSO. I think is is the second or third time THIS year that someone has escaped from MCSO custody. Bad job Joe.

    was reelected by the ignorant population of Maricopa County. His incompetence is noticed day after day. Remember the other guy that escaped from a downtown jail during a court hearing right under the nose of Arpaio's goon squad?

    That’s all you got ? How’s them Rolaids tasting . 4 good chance of 8 more years of Joe. The reason he got away was because Joes goons were chasing the Suburban full of weed with the automatics weapons in it.
