A Cincinnati man who was placed in a halfway house in Camp Washington, Ohio for offenses unknown to news organizations was considered to have escaped when he left the halfway house without permission at 2:50 a.m. on August 9th.
He remained at large, and in violation of his parole, until the end of November, when on Sunday, November 29 he fired a gun through a window at the residence of his child's mother. The incidence took place in the 200 block of Craft Street in Winton Hills. The woman was struck in the left arm.
He escaped again and remained at large, eluding capture until the middle of the day on Wednesday. A Cincinnati police officer saw him in Walnut Hills and tried to stop him. The man ran away from the police officers but was pursued vigorously. He received a shock from a TASER gun while on the Interstate 471 ramp and was subsequently brought into custody.
He was booked into the Hamilton County Jail at about 1:30 p.m. on that same day and charged with escape, felonious assault and obstructing official business.
The man was able to remain at large for nearly 4 and a half months so it is not unfathomable to think that without the use of a TASER gun he might have been able to escape yet again. Luckily he was apprehended before he could do any further harm to his child's mother or other members of the community.
Because of the use of the TASER gun, he was apprehended with a minimum amount of force which creates a safer environment for suspect and police officer alike.
