FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — After six weeks, Naseem Isaiah Roulack has been taken back into custody.
The U.S. Marshals Service released a statement on Wednesday thanking the Fairfax County Police for their help in his apprehension.
“I want to thank the U.S. Marshals Service, Virginia State Police, Fairfax County Police Department and other local, state and federal law enforcement partners for their tireless efforts assisting the VADOC’s Investigators and Officers in the effort to recapture this inmate,” said VADOC Director Chadwick Dotson.
U.S. Marshals say despite Roulack being back in custody, this is still an ongoing investigation.
Naseem Isaiah Roulack, 21, escaped from the custody of two Virginia Department Corrections Officers nearly on August 12.
Roulack escaped from the Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital shortly before 6 a.m. wearing a hospital gown and no shoes.
Following an internal investigation, the Virginia Department of Corrections, discovered that the officers who were supposed to be supervising Roulack, were asleep when he escaped. He managed to get away because he had flex-cuffs on his wrists and ankles, which are made of nylon. These were placed on Roulack at the request of the doctors so they could conduct an MRI.
As of August 23, the two officers have resigned.
Following his escape, Roulack was named as a suspect in a carjacking in Montgomery County. According to investigators around midnight on September 1, Roulack approached a woman on Deer Park Road, held her at gunpoint, and demanded her car.
During the carjacking, he reportedly told the victim to get in the car. Once the woman was in the car, Roulack drove several blocks and then told her to get out.
Roulack was serving 13 years for malicious wounding, grand larceny, and hit & run during the time of his escape.
The U.S. Marshals has not released any more information regarding the case. At this time we do not know if additional time will be adding to his previous sentencing.
