A Louisiana inmate who was arrested in July on a second-degree murder charge is on the run after pepper-spraying a deputy transporting him from an area hospital and stealing her marked sheriff's vehicle, authorities said.

Leon Ruffin, 51, had been in custody at the Jefferson Parish jail after his arrest July 20 on suspicion of murder, jail records show. A manhunt is now underway for Ruffin after he managed to escape from custody Sunday evening while a deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office was transporting Ruffin back to the jail from a New Orleans hospital where he had received medical treatment.

Hours later in New Orleans, investigators tracked down the marked patrol vehicle that Ruffin is accused of stealing to make his brazen escape. The sheriff's office had no new information to share about the search for Ruffin or his suspected whereabouts when reached Monday afternoon by USA TODAY.
"In our opinion, he was probably faking some injuries that he had," Sheriff Joseph Lopinto said in a Sunday news conference shared on the department's Facebook page.
Before the deputy's marked Ford Explorer even left the parking lot, Ruffin "created some type of disturbance" that prompted the deputy to exit the vehicle and go to the inmate's door, where he sprayed her with pepper spray, Lopinto said.
In addition to the murder charge, Ruffin was also charged in July with obstruction of justice; illegally carrying a firearm (since he has already been convicted of felonies); aggravated assault with a firearm; and aggravated criminal damaging to property.

Well NO SHIT the nigger was faking it, just like they claim "Ahz kint breeves!" or "Ahz beez habbin a hurrt attax!" so that law enforcement has to call the ambalamps, giving the nigger the best chance to escape.

"Armed and dangerous"? That goes without saying. We can only hope the nigger "resists arrest" and is made good when it's found.
