   KANNAPOLIS, NC (ABC News) — Escaped murderer Ramone Alston, who escaped from   
   custody Tuesday morning while being transported to a medical appointment at a   
   North Carolina hospital, has been caught, authorities said.   
      
   Ramone Alston was captured shortly before 2 a.m. this morning at a hotel on   
   Cloverleaf Parkway in Kannapolis, North Carolina, following an operation   
   involving FBI Charlotte SWAT agents, Kannapolis Police and Charl   
   tte-Mecklenburg Police, according to a    
   statement from the North Carolina Department of Corrections.   
      
   Shortly after, Jacobia Crisp, a female acquaintance, was arrested in Alamance   
   County and charged with felony aiding and abetting a fugitive, officials said.   
      
   Alston will be charged with felony escape from prison and is being taken to a   
   high security unit in the state prison system where he will resume serving his   
   life sentence for first degree murder and will await court appearances for his   
   escape charges.   
      
   Alston was convicted of shooting and killing a 1-year-old girl on Christmas   
   Day in 2015 and is serving a life sentence.   
      
   The infant victim, Maleah Williams, had been playing outside with her   
   Christmas toys when she was struck by gunfire, her mother previously told   
   Raleigh ABC station WTVD.   
      
   Alston, 30, broke away from a corrections officer while being escorted to UNC   
   Hospital in Hillsborough on Tuesday, according to the North Carolina   
   Department of Adult Correction.   
      
   “He had freed himself from leg restraints and, still in handcuffs, jumped   
   out and ran into adjacent woods,” the department said in a statement.   
      
   Director of Orange County Emergency Services Kirby Saunders said state, local   
   and federal law enforcement teams searched hundreds of acres for Alston, using   
   aerial assets including helicopters, canine resources and ground searchers.   
      
   “He’s unpredictable — we don’t know what he’s going to do, so he   
   should certainly probably be considered dangerous,” Keith Acree, a   
   spokesperson for the Department of Adult Correction, said in a press briefing   
   earlier this week. “People    
   make rash decisions at a time like this; he’s already made one very large   
   rash decision this morning.”   
      
   Alston was taken into custody without injuries to anyone.   
      
   “I am grateful to our DAC staff and thankful for the support and effort from   
   hundreds of local, state and federal public safety officers who helped in the   
   search and investigation that returned Alston safely to custody,” said Todd   
   Ishee, Secretary of    
   the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. “This was an incredible   
   collaborative effort of many people and agencies.”
