BEAVER, Pa. (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies say a western Pennsylvania county jail inmate wearing an orange-and-white striped uniform tried to hail a taxi to escape from a hospital where he was taken for medical treatment.
The Beaver County Times reports Tuesday that 23-year-old Holden Wooley was taken to Heritage Valley Beaver Hospital on Saturday night after a reported seizure. Deputies say at one point during his four-hour hospital visit, Wooley went outside to hail a cab — but the driver refused to pick up Wooley.
When hospital security officers tried to grab him, Wooley ran into the woods and was arrested a couple hours later when police used a K-9 officer and a stun gun to subdue him. He was treated for a dog bite at the hospital and returned to jail.
Online court records don’t list an attorney for Wooley.
