JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) - Authorities have captured a man who escaped from custody at the North Dakota State Hospital in Jamestown.
KQDJ radio reports that the Larimore man was being held at the mental health facility and escaped custody from a Grand Forks County sheriff’s deputy about 4:15 a.m. Thursday.
The man was handcuffed and chained, but authorities say the terrain in the area made it difficult to find him. He was located about two hours later in a slough within a mile of the hospital.
