The Prestonsburg police were called to an escaped inmate at Highlands Appalachian Reginal Healthcare. A man identified as 31 year-old Jesse Karr, of Elizabethtown, was in custody of the Floyd County Jail seeking medical treatment at Appalachian Regional Healthcare. After restraints were removed, he fled from his room and the hospital.<\/p>\n
The deputy jailer attempted to pursue him but was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
