An inmate escaped police custody early Tuesday morning at Summa Health on 1 Park West Drive in Akron.
The inmate, identified as Jason Lyle Conrad, was being escorted by a Summit County Sheriff’s deputy when he managed to escape.
Conrad was handcuffed and wearing a boot due to a previous injury but was able to free himself from the boot and flee. Law enforcement officials from Akron, Fairlawn, and Copley, as well as Highway Patrol troopers, are assisting in the search for Conrad.
