The Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office says inmate Timothy Shane escaped custody from Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital around 1:20 a.m. Monday after being taken there for a medical evaluation following a reported suicide attempt. Authorities believe he fled on foot, then stole an SUV from which a Glock handgun was reported missing, crashed the vehicle, and escaped again on foot; he is considered armed and dangerous. Deputies and assisting agencies are searching the area, and Grady said policy requires one‑to‑one law‑enforcement oversight for inmates receiving treatment.
