An inmate is back in custody after jumping out of a moving police transport van on a Phoenix-area freeway Wednesday morning.
Adam Arlington, 31, is now hospitalized and listed in serious condition.
Arlington was handcuffed and shackled when he kicked out a passenger-side window on a Gilbert police van, jumped out and ran across Interstate 10 near Elliot Road.
Police said Arlington suffered a head injury and, after being recaptured, was taken to a Phoenix hospital. Arlington was in custody on a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.
When he tried to escape, he was on his way to be booked into the Maricopa County jail after he was unable to post bond.
