Authorities capture inmate who escaped from NH hospital
Authorities have captured the inmate who escaped from a New Hampshire hospital Wednesday morning.
John Pownall escaped from Exeter Hospital around 10:40 a.m. Wednesday morning despite the 57-year-old’s court order to remain at the facility until medically able to return to the Rockingham County Jail, according to the Rockingham County Sheriff’s office.
Authorities say 36-year-old Ashley Gustafson helped Pownall escape from the hospital and field in a white KIA sedan with a New Hampshire license plate.
Police say Pownall removed his ankle monitoring device in a CVS parking lot in Stratham, New Hampshire.
The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Boston 25 that both Pownall and Gustafson were located by Dover, NH police.
