VA authorities continue search for inmate who escaped from Henrico County hospital

RICHMOND, Va - Authorities in Virginia are searching for an inmate who escaped police custody while at a hospital in Henrico County early Saturday morning.

Virginia State Police, the Virginia Department of Corrections and Henrico County Police are conducting a joint search for 21-year-old for Naseem I. Roulack, who they say slipped away from Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital around 5:45 a.m. on Aug. 12.

Roulack, who is from Woodbridge, was taken from Greensville Correctional Center to St. Mary's for medical treatment last week. Police say he left the hospital on foot and was last seen casually walking on Franklin Street in Henrico County's Near West End.

Roulack is serving a 13-year sentence for charges of aggravated malicious wounding, grand larceny, and hit and run.

He is described as a black man with black hair and brown eyes, 5’8" and about 225 lbs, believed to be wearing a gray t-shirt with black shorts and what appears to be either a white towel or sheet on his head and carrying a backpack or bag over his shoulder.

He has tattoos on his face, which include "Cut Throat" on his right cheek, a tattoo on his left arm that says "RIP ish" and a tattoo on his right arm that reads "Faith is Seeing with Your Heart When All Your Eyes See is Darkness." He also goes by the alias of Lil Nas.

State and local K9 tracking crews, patrols and aviation are assisting with the ongoing search. The medical gown and the restraints he was wearing when he left the hospital were located but there has been no other sign of Roulack.

Law enforcement is encouraging anyone who sees, 21, to call 911 or #77 on a cell phone.
