PONTIAC, Mich.- Four prisoners escaped from a courthouse Monday after one of the men overpowered a security guard. Three of the inmates were later recaptured, but one remained on the loose.
The guard suffered scrapes in the escape and was treated and released, hospital spokesman Chris Allman said.
Police shut down streets and locked down buildings after the escape. The guard’s gun was taken during the escape, but later recovered, Pontiac police Sgt. William Ware said.
Pontiac police identified the fugitive as Jahmal Dillahunty, who was in court to be arraigned on a murder charge. It was unclear if the other three men were connected to Dillahunty’s case.
