A prisoner escaped from Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami after complaining of chest pains, Miami-Dade Police reported. The prisoner, 36-year-old Theodric Collins, was being transported to the hospital for a medical evaluation on Saturday afternoon when he managed to escape while still in handcuffs.
After being cleared by medical staff around 2:25 p.m., the police officer was in the process of taking Collins to the MDPD Warrants Bureau when he escaped to a waiting silver Maserati with an Alabama license plate number GBT862. The vehicle fled the scene, and a License Plate Reader later detected the Maserati in Jupiter around 4 p.m.
Collins is described as 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a medium build. The authorities did not provide information on what he was last seen wearing. He was initially arrested for various felony warrants, and the search for him is ongoing.
If you have any information about Collins’ whereabouts, you are urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can report anonymously and may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
