Shot hospital escapee surrenders
James Hutson, aka “Boofou”
Shot hospital escapee, James Hutson, also called “Boofou” gave up his freedom and walked into the Brickdam Police Station at around 02:00 am yesterday.
Hutson, of Grove Squatting Area, East Bank Demerara, was nursing a gunshot wound to his right leg which he sustained two Tuesdays ago when he reportedly attacked a lawman with an ice pick.
Police said Hutson, who is a suspect in an armed robbery, last Monday eluded the policeman who was deployed to guard him. The officer has since been placed under close arrest.
According to sources, the suspected bandit walked into the police station early yesterday and identified himself to the ranks on duty.
There are reports that the 40-year-old man told officers that a nurse who was attending to him at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, on the day he went missing, discharged him.
He claimed that after he was discharged and did not see any lawmen around, he picked the handcuff and fled. But after realizing that his photograph was in the newspaper, he decided to surrender.
Kaieteur News was told that after the man went missing on Monday, police stormed his residence, but he was not there.
The policeman who was assigned to guard Hutson at the hospital told investigators that he was in the washroom when the man went missing, but sources said that the rank had left the prisoner unattended while he went downstairs where he was seen engaging in conversation with a female.
