Key takeaways

  • Patient from Florida State Hospital was captured.
  • The patient was taken into custody.

The community is associated with the Quincy area in Gadsden County.

The development involves a patient who had left or was otherwise absent from Florida State Hospital and was later found at the hotel. The patient was taken into custody after the capture.

What is known

WCTV’s report identifies Florida State Hospital as the patient’s facility and the hotel as the location where the patient was captured. It does not identify the patient by name, state which agency made the arrest or custody transfer, or describe any criminal charge.

The report also does not establish how long the patient had been away from the hospital or whether anyone else was involved. Those details are separate from the confirmed event: the patient was found at the hotel and taken into custody.
