Texas inmate Nigel Thomas Sanders, 35, is back in custody after nearly 12 hours on the run following an escape during transport from a court appearance in Houston.
An hourslong manhunt is over in Houston, Texas, after authorities apprehended an inmate early Friday morning who escaped during transport from a court appearance on Thursday. Nigel Thomas Sanders, 35, was taken into custody at around 3 a.m. Friday, nearly 12 hours after his escape during transport back to the jail at around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office on social media. Details surrounding his apprehension were not immediately available.
It appears that on his way back from court he was able to facilitate an escape,' Bosquez said. During his escape, Sanders allegedly accosted a woman and jumped into her car, but she wrecked it just a few feet away. After the vehicle was disabled during the accident, the suspect fled the area on foot, which was the last time he was seen, police said.
The University of Houston Downtown issued a lockdown due to the search but later gave the all-clear. 'UHD ALERT: SECURE! Downtown OUTSIDE Police Action,' the X alert read. 'Get indoors immediately. Lock outside doors. Avoid Windows. PD responding.'
