MAN WHO FLED FROM OFFICER IS SEIZED AT STORE LOADING DOCK

HERALD-LEADER STAFF REPORT

Burdine was charged in an alleged assault at a Kentucky Welcome Center on I-75.One Best Buy customer thought police were arresting a man for taking a Playstation 3, but it turned out to be the suspected rapist who escaped from University of Kentucky Hospital last night.

William Rick Burdine Sr., 42, of Laurel County, was being discharged from the hospital Wednesday night when he ran from a corrections officer, UK police said.

About noon yesterday, police saw Burdine enter the Best Buy on Nicholasville Road, where they arrested him at the rear loading dock without incident, Lexington police Lt. David Lyons said.

Ricky Simpson, a UK student from Ashland, was in Best Buy yesterday when he saw police arrest a man.

"I thought it was for the Playstation," he said, referring to the video game system being released today.

When Burdine escaped, he was wearing only boxer shorts and white tennis shoes, UK police said.

Lexington police received a call about 10:30 a.m. yesterday that a man fitting Burdine's description was spotted at Nicholasville Road and New Circle Road. Police first went to Lexington Green, where other people said they saw a man matching the same description.

Police called out several units and a helicopter, Lyons said.

Burdine was briefly taken back to UK hospital and taken to Fayette County Detention Center, Lyons said.

Burdine was a Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex inmate.

Burdine was charged in an alleged assault at the Kentucky Welcome Center on Interstate 75 in Whitley County in June 2004. Police said he attacked a woman with a knife, forced her into her car and sexually assaulted her.



Nice hiding place--with so many people to scurry behind. 'Cept there were too many cuz they all saw him and pointed fingers. Served him right!

But where did he get clothes? 0.o From a homeless man/dumpster?

Haha woow
I've always wanted to steal clothes from a hobo. Lol actually that's pretty sad...although once a friend of mine discovered a hobo living inside an abandoned toy house. You know, the plastic play houses that little kids get as presents? Yeah...

Lol helicopters? For some dude in boxers and a pair of tennishoes? Well, I guess the safety of the public was in mind.

The gym is for the kids and (I think) events. The church is huge.
