On December 14, 2022, at approximately 2:20 pm, Anne Arundel County Sheriff’s Deputies were alerted to an escape of an inmate from the Anne Arundel County Detention Center located on Jennifer Road in Annapolis.
The Deputies were advised the inmate fled the Detention Center and was last seen running toward the Anne Arundel Medical Center. Deputies, along with Officers from the Anne Arundel County Police, Detention Officers, and hospital Security, responded to AAMC and began to search for the inmate.
At approximately 2:40 pm a Deputy observed a subject hiding underneath a blanket inside a vehicle in parking garage A. The car was occupied, and the owner was unaware of the subject hiding in the backseat. The driver was safely removed from the car, and after a brief standoff the subject, later identified as the escaped inmate, exited the vehicle and was taken into custody.
The inmate suffered minor injuries during his escape when he worked his way through multiple layers of razor wire while in the yard area of the Detention facility. The inmate then jumped off the building and proceeded across Jennifer Road towards the hospital.
The hospital was placed on a brief lockdown while Deputies, Officers, and Detention Officers searched the area for the escaped inmate. The inmate was currently awaiting trial for Kidnapping, First Degree Assault, Theft and Violation of Probation for CDS Possession. He was being held on a no-bond status at the time of the escape.
Last night, the inmate, identified as a 31-year-old male, was formally charged with First Degree Escape.
