Another Arrested Person Briefly Escapes Police Custody

BEACHWOOD, OH — For the second time in about one month, a suspect briefly escaped police custody in Beachwood. The department said the suspect was on medical furlough and didn't come back to jail.

The arrested man was released from Beachwood Jail on a medical furlough on Friday. The man failed to return to the jail after he was released, so police went looking for him. The man was captured at the Aloft Hotel the same day he was supposed to return to Beachwood Jail.

In mid-July, an arrested woman on police-granted medical leave at Ahuja Medical Center left the facility without checking with police. The woman was on the lam for only about 30 minutes, according to police records obtained by Patch.

Here are some of the other notable police incidents from the past weekend.
