A sex offender from the United States is on the lam again after being extradited from Costa Rica. John Wesley Saatio, a fugitive facing several criminal charges in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, escaped from a van transporting prisoners in Florida on Saturday night.

According to a news broadcast by WEAR, an ABC affiliate television station in Pensacola, Mr. Saatio had been back in the United States a few days after being extradited from Costa Rica, where he lived as a fugitive in the coastal community of Jaco Beach.

In Florida, a spokesperson from the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office explained that Mr. Saatio escaped from a prisoner transport van operated by a private security company. He escaped while the vehicle stopped at a rest stop on an eastbound section of I-10, an interstate highway that connects Northern Florida with Southern California.

In the past, Mr. Saatio has proven to be very slippery. As reported by The Costa Rica Star, Mr. Saatio is a registered sex offender who first became a fugitive a little over a year ago as he escaped custody while being transported to a court hearing in Michigan. He ended up in Costa Rica, where worked briefly as a chef while he lived among U.S. expats in Jaco Beach until he was arrested by officers from Fuerza Publica (the national police force of Costa Rica) acting on a tip from a neighborhood watch group.

After his arrest, Mr. Saatio attempted to bend the bars of a holding cell in the Garabito canton precinct. He was later transported to the Temporary Detention Center for Immigrants with Irregular Status (Spanish acronym: CATECI), located in the populous Hatillo district of the capital city. At CATECI, he decided to initiate an asylum petition, which was later declined when he escaped from the detention center; investigators believe that this jailbreak may have been an inside job.

Mr. Saatio was apprehended at a bus stop in the Los Guido sector of Desamparados, a southern suburban district of San Jose. He was given a perp walk, which is highly unusual in Costa Rica; the Commissioner of Fuerza Publica was questioned about the curious parading of Mr. Saatio in handcuffs, but there was no clear answer.

With his escape in Florida, Mr. Saatio has now absconded for the third time. To make matters worse for law enforcement, he was not wearing a prison uniform at the time; he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
