MEBANE, N.C. (WTVD) — A 19-year-old man accused of entering a home in Mebane on Friday before being thwarted by an 11-year-old with a machete walked out of UNC Hospital on Saturday morning and is on the loose, according to Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood.
According to Blackwood, Jataveon Dashawn Hall slipped out of UNC Hospital wearing a hospital gown with a cup of water in his hand.
An Orange County official said Saturday that UNC Hospital in Hillsborough transferred Hall to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill because of the severity of Hall’s wound.
Shortly before 8 p.m. Friday night, a nurse entered Hall’s room and discovered his bed empty. A review of videotape showed him walking out of the hospital wearing a hospital gown.
