The prisoner then fled from the hospital, still wearing arm and leg shackles, and carjacked a taxicab. The cab driver left his microphone on during the incident, which allowed officers to quickly locate him. The inmate forced the cab driver to cross into Pennsylvania where the driver intentionally crashed the cab. The prisoner then fled on foot back into Maryland where he was taken into custody.
Officer Wroten had served with the Maryland State Division of Correction for 4 years and was assigned to the medium-security Roxbury Correctional Institution.
