Thanks to the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, Jericho Hill who was wanted for ESCAPE has been taken into custody in Barberton Ohio. http://www.usmarshals.gov/district/oh-n/taskforces/

Hill who is a convicted felon, had been arrested on February 20th on charges that he had violated conditions of his parole due to possessing weapons. On March 2nd Hill was transported to the hospital and was later admitted for further treatment.
Due to the possibility of a protracted hospital stay, Hill was released by the court on a signature bond on March 3rd with the understanding that Hill would return to jail upon his release from the hospital. Just two hours after signing the bond, Hill left the hospital with Intravenous needles still in his arms.
The fact that Hill was court ordered to return to jail and did not do so resulted in the charge of escape being filed. Hill was NOT under the direct supervision of ANY law enforcement officers at the time that he left the hospital.
