PHUKET: Chalong Police today issued a wanted poster for 28-year-old Florida man Ezekiel Shilon Dolcide, who escaped police custody by running away while still handcuffed on Monday afternoon (Dec 16).
Dolcide was being transferred to Chalong Police Station to await deportation after he was convicted of marijuana possession and overstaying in the country when he made good his getaway simply by running off after police opened the vehicle door for him as he arrived at the station.
Dolcide fled past the busy Chalong Circle and down Wiset Rd toward Rawai, then disappeared in the jungle behind the SuperCheap store some 260 metres away. He was still in handcuffs at the time of the escape.
Police have searched the jungle and area around where he escaped for the past two days but he remains missing. They believe he is still on the island.
The Pattaya News notes that it was not stated how long the American had been on overstay but a search of his name shows potential pending legal matters in his home country as well.
