Woman who escaped Rowlett police while handcuffed back in custody

ROWLETT, Texas - A Rowlett neighborhood was on guard for around six hours after a woman was able to slip away from police custody while in handcuffs.

The woman, handcuffed, barefoot and wearing Christmas pajamas, was hiding from Rowlett police late Thursday.

What We Know: Investigators said 22-year-old Quanesha Mason caused an hours-long search in a neighborhood near Rowlett Road and Hickory Road.

Police said it all started when Mason was put in handcuffs Thursday afternoon for failing to provide identification.

Ring video from a home in the neighborhood shows officers talking in the front yard of a home and Mason making a run for it from behind a police cruiser and in between two homes.

The officers notice she's gone and call for back up.

Officers searched the neighborhood until around 8 p.m. Thursday.

Police posted on Facebook that Mason was taken into custody just before midnight Thursday.

What They're Saying: Mason was spotted on Floyd Smith's Ring camera.

"We are curious where she was headed," Smith said. "You know, barefoot and cold. I think she had to be hiding somewhere in the neighborhood."

What's Next: Mason was booked into the Rowlett city jail before being transferred to the Dallas County jail on a charge of escape from custody.
