MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office says no prisoner has escaped and there is no threat to the public following a social media post made by Marquette police Tuesday, May 11.

MCSO says around 3 p.m. Tuesday, a male was taken to the Milwaukee County Jail by a suburban police department due to a retail theft warrant in another jurisdiction. 

After he had changed into a jail uniform, officials discovered that he needed to be taken to a hospital for medical clearance before completing the intake process, and the individual was taken to a hospital near 13th and State Street.

A this time, officials from the jurisdiction that issued the warrant advised that they were no longer seeking his transfer. Police left the hospital, and shortly before 5 p.m., the individual left the hospital, still wearing jail attire. 

His movements were reported to multiple law enforcement agencies due to concerns regarding his clothing.
