Alleged escapee who prompted brief lockdown at Ben Taub Hospital caught

The woman escaped while using the restroom Wednesday night.

HOUSTON — Police have arrested a woman they say escaped while going to the restroom at Ben Taub Hospital Wednesday night.

Ben Taub Hospital was on lockdown briefly during the search for Collin Danielle Anderson, 37, who had been arrested for possession of a controlled substance.

Police said the woman had a medical issue, and the jail sent her and an officer to the hospital before she could be processed.  Police said Anderson asked to use the restroom, and a nurse went with her. According to officials, the nurse left and the woman escaped from the bathroom.

On Thursday, police tweeted that she was caught by officers with the South Gessner Patrol Division.  We don't have circumstances on the arrest.
