A registered sex offender escaped a psychiatric hospital in Texas this week and remains on the run, police have said.
McArthur Deashy Mathis escaped from the Cross Creek Psychiatric & Addiction Hospital in Austin by kicking open a back door and jumping a six foot fence, according to officials.
Police in Grimes County, Texas, are still searching for Mathis, who was last seen on Wednesday at 8 p.m.
Grimes County Sheriff Don Sowell said in a statement: “Not only does this individual have some tendencies to be violent possibly, actually with his background… he’s out there in the public, and we have a public safety issue, and I worry some innocent person may be victimized.”
