Fairfax County Police have located and arrested a man they say escaped custody Tuesday morning after being wanted for multiple outstanding warrants.

Jaquan Ross, 27, was initially apprehended around 4 a.m. Tuesday by two bail bondsmen in the 6100 block of Richmond Highway. Fairfax County Police responded to take him into custody.  

Ross allegedly complained of pain and asked to be taken to the hospital.  Once at a local hospital, Ross broke free from an officer and ran towards Route 1, officials say. He was still wearing a handcuff on his right wrist. Multiple officers, a helicopter and K9 units pursued him, but were unable to find him.

Ross was wanted for multiple outstanding warrants from various jurisdictions in the Northern Virginia area, including possession of marijuana; obstruction of justice; and providing false ID to law enforcement.

Additional outstanding charges provided by police include:

  • From Fairfax County: assault on family member (2X); fail to appear on felony; fail to appear on misdemeanor; violate condition of release
  • From Alexandria City: Felony aggravated assault on family member; assault on family member; destruction of property; prevent summoning of police
  • From Virginia State Police: Felony fail to stop for law enforcement; driving while suspended; reckless driving; fail to abide by traffic light (3X)

No details have been released regarding exactly when and where he was located.
