A man who escaped from Sempervirens Hospital while he was an inmate at the Humboldt County Jail was arrested in Manila Tuesday by Humboldt County Sheriff's detectives .
Derek Wendell Bowman, 26, answered the door of a Manila home and was arrested just before 3:30 p.m.
He escaped from the mental hospital on Aug. 5.
The Sheriff's Department said Detective Troy Garey received information that Bowman was hiding at the house on the 100 block of Phillips Court.
Garey, other detectives and a U.S. marshal arrived at the home and Bowman was arrested without any problems.
He was booked into the jail on suspicion of escape and for a series of charges pending while he was in custody the first time, which include forgery and resisting arrest.
In August 2006, Bowman was sentenced to 180 days in jail for forgery, second-degree burglary, interfering with a police officer and possession of drug paraphernalia convictions.
He is not eligible for bail.
