Male Escapes Custody From Philly Police
by Alex Lloyd Gross
A homeless male, who was picked up by Philadelphia Police just after 3:00 AM on the 800 block of Market Street had an open probation warrant from Philly and authorities in New York wanted him for larceny. Richard Renzo, or Richard White, (as he sometimes calls himself), is described as a white male in his mid to late 50’s.
Police took him into custody and transported him to Jefferson Hospital in the city, where he escaped, wearing only a thin hospital gown. Police did not say how he escaped or if her was wearing handcuffs at the time. He was last seen inside the hospital. He escaped in an unknown direction, police said.
