SYCAMORE TWP. — An ex-convict who escaped custody at University Hospital Friday kidnapped a motorist, forced him to drive to his estranged wife's home — then wound up shot in the leg, police said.

        Angelo Lloyd, 33, was treated at University Hospital for the gunshot wound and released. It was not clear how Mr. Lloyd was wounded, but sheriff's officials said he was not shot by police.

        He is charged with kidnapping, and more charges are pending, police said.

        The bizarre series of events began about 9 a.m. Friday, when Mr. Lloyd fled from University Hospital and obtained a handgun. Authorities would not say why he was in custody there, or where he got the gun, but court records show he had been charged with domestic violence and aggravated menacing.

        Police said Mr. Lloyd hijacked a car at Ohio Avenue and Montgomery Road in Silverton, forcing the driver to take him to the apartment on Longford Drive in Sycamore Township.

        Airrion Williams of Springfield Township said he was stopped for a light on Montgomery Road about 10 a.m. The doors of his white Jeep Cherokee were unlocked.

        “I looked to the right because my door opened,” Mr. Williams said. “I saw the gun first. He jumped in.”

        Mr. Williams was ordered to drive, and at one point, Mr. Lloyd became agitated because Mr. Williams was going too slow.

        “He meant business,” Mr. Williams said. “I just did what he said.”

        When they reached the apartment near Deer Park High School, Mr. Lloyd got out and briefly entered the apartment, although it was not clear if the woman was home. Mr. Williams ran to call police, and heard gunfire behind him.

        Mr. Lloyd was eventually found near Trebor and Blossom drives, about a half-mile from Longford.

        “I heard all the commotion,” said Evelyn Hoffmeister after police dragged Mr. Lloyd through her back yard. “I didn't realize he had been shot. His shirt was ripped.”

        State records show Mr. Lloyd has been in prison five times, beginning in 1987, when he served five months for theft.

        He has also served time for receiving stolen property, drug trafficking, drug abuse and failure to comply with a police officer.
