(NewsNation) — Port of Seattle Police are searching for an inmate who escaped custody at the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport and fled north on a light rail train on Sunday morning.
Sedrick T. Stevenson, who is wanted in Kentucky on unspecified warrants, reportedly escaped from a contracted agent at the airport around 11 a.m. on May 4.
Police say the 28-year-old suspect escaped during the ticket-checking process. He ran, avoiding capture from security and agents, and boarded a light-rail train headed north, according to video cameras.
Stevenson was later seen leaving a light rail station in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, local authorities confirmed.
His escape did not affect travel at SEA, and police searched baggage claim, platforms and other airport areas Sunday.
Stevenson is now wanted for escape in the second degree, along with his previous warrants in Kentucky.
