SVP Alvin Quarles Rearrested on Suspected Violation, Returned to State Hospital

Prosecutors have not disclosed the alleged breach, with supporting filings placed under seal.

Overview

  • Quarles, 63, was booked into Vista Jail on Nov. 6, more than nine months after his conditional release from Coalinga State Hospital.
  • At a brief hearing Friday, he waived a challenge to the allegation and requested return to Coalinga, and prosecutors say he has been transported back.
  • The District Attorney’s Office declined to detail the suspected violation, and a Liberty Healthcare report with a revocation motion was filed confidentially.
  • He had been living in Borrego Springs under a court-ordered outpatient plan that required transient status, 24/7 on-site supervision, and GPS monitoring.
  • A follow-up court hearing is scheduled for Jan. 23 to address his outpatient release status.
