(KNZA)--A man who fled from Iowa is captured in Hiawatha after he took a trip to the hospital.
Hiawatha Police Chief John Defore, in a press release, says Randell Streeter was taken into custody Thursday.
That happened after Defore's office was notified by Hiawatha Community Hospital staff about a suspicious patient providing them with what they found to be conflicting information.
Police were joined by Brown County Sheriff's Deputies in responding to the emergency room where an investigation was launched. It was learned that Streeter was on the run from a residential correctional facility, or halfway house, in Council Bluff's, Iowa, having fled from that facility on March 15th.
With that information in hand, Streeter was taken into local custody, held in Brown County until he can be returned to Iowa.
Information regarding Streeter's criminal background isn't immediately known.
