   CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) -The Summit County Sheriff’s Office is once again   
   coming under fire after a wanted felon escaped custody.   
      
   This time, a prisoner escaped from a hospital and the public was never   
   notified.   
      
   For months, we’ve been reporting how the SCSO has failed to issue alerts   
   when inmates escape.   
      
   Now, SCSO claims they never had custody of the prisoner to begin with ― but   
   that’s not the case according to other law enforcement agencies.   
      
   Anntonette Henderson, 34, was recently indicted in both Summit and Cuyahoga   
   counties for felonies, including receiving stolen property and theft.   
      
   Warrants were issued in both counties for her arrest.   
      
   Last Tuesday, University Heights police say they arrested Henderson for   
   stealing merchandise at a Target.   
      
   Officers then learned she had a felony warrant in Summit County, so they   
   contacted SCSO.   
      
   While waiting for a deputy to arrive, Henderson complained about medical   
   issues.   
      
   Officers then transported her to University Hospital’s main campus in   
   Cleveland.   
      
   University Heights Police say that’s when Summit County Sheriff’s Deputy   
   Anthony Pacheco arrived to take custody of Henderson.   
      
   Officers say Pacheco arrived carrying shackles to restrain Henderson.   
      
   Since he was alone, hospital police offered to help.   
      
   However, they say Pacheco told them, “He was good, and they could go.”   
      
   In University Hospital’s police report, an officer writes, “during the   
   course of moving patient from triage to room, patient fled, going right past   
   deputy.”   
      
   The report states both Cleveland and University Circle police were notified   
   and helped search the area.   
      
   19 Investigates wanted to know why SCSO didn’t notify local law enforcement   
   ― or the media ― about the escape, since they had custody of Henderson.   
      
   They replied by email.   
      
   “We did not have custody of Ms. Henderson upon arrival, she remained in   
   custody of University Hospital,” said SCSO’s Support Services   
   Administrator Kelly Pongracz.   
      
   However, University Hospital police reported, “at no time did they take   
   custody of the prisoner.”   
      
   Now ― a week later ― Henderson remains at large.   
      
   And once again, you ― the public ― were never notified.   
      
   Sources tell 19 Investigates that Deputy Pacheco was sent directly home after   
   the incident.   
      
   We’ve submitted several public records requests to SCSO and will keep you   
   posted.   
      
   University Heights Police Statement:   
      
   University Heights officers were dispatched to Target for a report that   
   Antonnette Henderson had been detained by their loss prevention officers for   
   theft.   
      
   Henderson was charged by our department with misdemeanor theft.   
      
   The warrant she had with Summit County SO was confirmed and arrangements were   
   made to transfer her to their custody.   
      
   Henderson then complained about medical issues and was transferred to   
   University Hospitals by University Heights rescue squad accompanied by our   
   officers who maintained custody of her at the hospital until the arrival of   
   Summit County SO.   
      
   Deputy Pacheco with Summit County SO arrived carrying restraint    
   evices/shackles and contacted our officer in the hospital ED lobby.   
      
   Deputy Pacheco was by himself, so our officers requested University Hospitals   
   police officers respond to the lobby for mutual aid to assist with the custody   
   transfer.   
      
   Multiple UH hospital officers responded to the lobby.   
      
   “After their arrival, Deputy Pacheco advised our officers that he was good,   
   and they could go.”
