An inmate escaped custody while being transported by a contracted agent with a law enforcement agency out of Kentucky, at the Seattle-Tacoma International (Sea-Tac) Airport Sunday, Port of Seattle Police reported.

The Port of Seattle released videos on Wednesday of 28-year-old Sedrick T. Stevenson evading officers and running through the sky bridge. The first video shows Stevenson slipping past multiple officers at a ticket counter in Sea-Tac Airport.

 

The second video shows Stevenson walking, looking around, before running through the bridge.

According to authorities, Stevenson ran to the light rail station, boarded a train heading north, and was last seen getting off at Capitol Hill. He remains at large and is wanted on multiple warrants out of Bowling Green, Kentucky.
