A pregnant Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio inmate assaulted and overpowered a female CCNO corrections officer and escaped custody yesterday as she was being escorted to a medical clinic in central Toledo. Authorities said Aurelia Dyer should be easy to spot: She was handcuffed and belly chained, wearing a red prison jumpsuit and gray sweatshirt with CCNO on the back and is three months' pregnant. She was still at large last night. The handcuffs and leg irons were found about a block from the clinic in the 2200 block of Columbia Street The 21-year-old central Toledoan was being escorted to an obstetrics clinic in the St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center Family Care Center, 2213 Franklin Ave., when she escaped about 1 p.m. The officer, Lisa Osborne, was being treated last night in St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center for injuries sustained in the assault. Officer Osborne arrived at the clinic and was escorting Dyer from a CCNO van to the building at Franklin and Bancroft Street. Dyer punched her in the nose and choked her with the handcuffs or belly chain until she was unconscious, Toledo police Sgt. Tim Noble said. Dyer then ran. Officer Osborne regained consciousness and ran after Dyer until she lost sight of her, the sergeant said. Dyer was being taken to a routine medical appointment when she escaped. It's common practice on a medical run for one officer to be sent with an inmate, and the officer is not required to be armed if there is no indication the inmate might try to flee, Jim Dennis, CCNO executive director, said. |
