He was originally in jail on drug charges and was set to be released Sept. 3
Officers located Bass in Reno where he was picked up and currently in the Washoe County Detention Center. Sheriff Ken Furlong said deputies from Carson City are going to pick up Bass by Tuesday morning to bring him back to await escape charges.
