MERIDEN, Conn. — A man was captured by Meriden police Tuesday after he escaped custody at Meriden Superior Court.
Police say they responded to court after they learned 23-year-old Meriden resident Dasmel Moore had escaped custody.
Moore was scheduled to be extradited to Polk County, Florida on a warrant for burglary of a dwelling and grand theft auto of a dwelling. Police say that Moore was in the back of a U.S. Corrections Agent's car which was pulling away from court when Moore was able to open the door and ran away.
Moore was handcuffed in front of his body and the handcuffs were secured to his belt wrapped around his waist.
