A Lafayette man is now a fugitive after leaving a hotel room where he’d been staying as part of a mental health diversion program he’d started weeks earlier to settle charges of holding a family hostage inside their apartment for hours.Kenneth David McIsaac, 32, was charged last year with 12 felony counts that included kidnapping, false imprisonment by violence, robbery, burglary and child abuse. He spent a year in jail while the case was pending, until last month, when Judge Julia Campins ruled that McIsaac qualified for a mental health diversion program that allowed him to stay at a hotel but required him to do submit to drug testing and other supervision.Now McIsaac has a no-bail warrant for his arrest, court records show.Contra Costa County prosecutors objected to the move, as did the woman who McIsaac allegedly held hostage last year, along with her husband and children. They escaped because they were somehow able to break free from duct tape bonds and overpower McI...
