ATLANTA, GEORGIA – The manhunt for escaped inmate Timothy Shane has intensified after authorities confirmed he stole a second vehicle and changed his appearance. The 52-year-old, who escaped Grady Memorial Hospital early Monday, is no longer wearing the hospital gown seen in initial surveillance footage.
New Vehicle and Disguise
After crashing a stolen SUV near the hospital, Shane reportedly fled on foot and stole a silver Pontiac Grand Prix with Georgia tag RWN9945. He was captured on surveillance video near Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Crucially, Shane has ditched his blue hospital gown. He was last seen wearing a red hoodie and dark blue pants. Police warn that he is still considered "armed and dangerous," as he is believed to be in possession of a Glock handgun stolen from the first vehicle.
Car Found Abandoned
Late Monday night, investigators located the stolen Pontiac Grand Prix abandoned at a Publix grocery store on Highway 155 in Henry County. Deputies swarmed the area, but Shane remains at large. It is currently unclear if he has stolen a third vehicle or if he fled the area on foot.
A Desperate Escape
Shane originally escaped custody around 1:20 a.m. Monday after being taken to the hospital for a suicide attempt. He has a history of fleeing law enforcement and faces charges including possession of methamphetamine and weapons offenses.
