A Carson City jail inmate who was at Carson Tahoe Hospital for a medical furlough was arrested Saturday for suspicion of felony escape by a prisoner and conspiracy to escape custody, a gross misdemeanor offense, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.
Kyle Gabelman was located on North Carson Street and arrested following an investigation. He had been told earlier by CCSO deputies when he was on medical furlough at the hospital that once he was treated he was to be picked up and returned to Carson City Jail, according to the arrest report.
The man acknowledged this and signed a form. He was told if he left during his medical furlough he would be charged with escape. He had acknowledged this with jail deputies, the report states.
As the man was being discharged from the hospital he was told by hospital staff he was going back to jail. Before hospital staff could call deputies to come pick him up, he left.
It was learned that Gabelman was given clothes by a relative, who told hospital staff she thought he was being released and was able to turn himself back in, the report states. Hospital staff informed the relative that Gabelman was not free to leave.
Gabelman changed his clothes and walked out of the hospital where he was located on camera and, found to enter a vehicle, which was later determined to be the relative's vehicle. Officers later located the vehicle, where the relative stated she dropped the man off at Mallory Behavioral Health Crisis Center but did not watch him walk in, the report states.
The man was located in the 700 block of North Carson Street by a CCSO sergeant and was arrested. Bail: $27,500.
