LOS ANGELES: A man sentenced to a mental health facility for stalking actress Mila Kunis was recaptured Wednesday in Santa Monica, four days after he escaped from the institution, sheriff’s officials said.

Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s major crimes division took Stuart Lynn Dunn into custody in an alley about a half-mile from the beach, sheriff’s spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said.

Dunn pleaded no contest to stalking Kunis in January 2013. He was sentenced to six months of rehabilitation, five years of probation and ordered to stay away from the actress and her representatives for 10 years.

He disappeared Saturday night from a mental health center in Pomona, about 50 miles from where he was captured.
