AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A woman awaiting trial in the killing of professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson tried to run from officers escorting her to a doctor appointment Wednesday, authorities said.
Two corrections officers had taken Kaitlin Armstrong to the appointment and were escorting her back to a patrol vehicle “when she ran," Travis County Sheriff spokeswoman Kristen Dark said.
Armstrong ran more than a block into a neighborhood, but she could be seen by deputies the entire time before she was caught, Dark said.
Armstrong and the two officers were taken to a hospital for a brief examination after the incident, and Armstrong was later returned to jail.
Authorities have said Armstrong tried to change her appearance and used several aliases as she moved around Costa Rica while attempting to establish herself up as a yoga instructor in that country.
