The escaped killer of a 1-year-old girl who escaped from an ambulance on Tuesday was caught early Friday at a hotel in the Charlotte suburb of Kannapolis, North Carolina, authorities said.

Ramone Alston, 30, escaped from the van as it arrived at UNC Gastroenterology Hospital in Hillsborough, North Carolina, by breaking free from his shackles and fleeing handcuffed into nearby woods, the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction said.

No one was injured during his arrest, the agency said. Hundreds of police and security officials were involved in the search, including SWAT agents from the FBI in Charlotte and police officers from Kannapolis and Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

CBS affiliate WNCN in Raleigh, North Carolina, reported that the reward for information leading to Alston’s arrest was $50,000, after several increases, but there was no information on what led law enforcement to Alston’s trail.

Shortly after his arrest, a female acquaintance, Jacobia Crisp, was arrested in Alamance County and charged with aiding and abetting an escape, authorities said.

Alston is charged with prison escape and will be placed in a maximum security cell in the state prison system, where he will “continue to serve his life sentence for premeditated murder and await trial on his escape charge,” the agency said. “The investigation is continuing to determine his movements since his escape on Tuesday, whether any other accomplices assisted him, and whether he committed any additional crimes during his escape.”

In a press conference Wednesday, Orange County, North Carolina Sheriff Charles Blackwood urged residents near the hospital to check their home cameras for clues as to where Alston had gone and to remain vigilant.

“He is extremely cautious, extremely dangerous and he has nothing to lose,” Blackwood said.

Alston has been incarcerated at the Bertie Correctional Institution in Windsor, NC, since his conviction for the murder of one-year-old Maleah Williams. was filmed on Christmas Day 2015 by a passing car while playing outside her family’s home in Chapel Hill. She died three days later.
