During the escape, he stole a van from a woman who was at the hospital with her father.

“I was unloading him, got him in a wheelchair and when I stood up, turned to take him inside the inmate ran out with a weapon pointed at us, yelling, ran around my vehicle and got in and took off,” said Naloni William. “I was wondering what was going to happen to my dad. He’s already sick. That’s my daddy. You know, who’s going to get hurt? What’s gonna happen next?”

Moore, who was in jail for robbing several banks, is considered to be dangerous.

Deputies later found Williams’ vehicle with the Taser inside on Fresno Drive off Santa Fe Drive in Fayetteville.
