An inmate who escaped custody in Virginia in August was arrested Wednesday morning in Fairfax County, according to the Virginia Department of Corrections.
The U.S. Marshals Service and Fairfax County police arrested 21-year-old Naseem Isaiah Roulack at a hotel in Springfield.
He allegedly tried to evade authorities by jumping from a third-floor window with an assault rifle, hurting his arm and dropping the rifle, the U.S. Marshals Service said. He was arrested after a short chase and taken to a hospital for treatment of his injury.
In August, Roulack escaped from two Virginia Department of Corrections officers at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital in the Richmond area.
