LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. — Multiple law enforcement agencies are searching for a suspect who they say escaped from an ambulance in Lexington County.

Lexington County deputies say 30-year-old Daniel Hill III, who was in custody, somehow got out of the back of an ambulance at Sunset and Leaphart Street. Officers say Hill was in handcuffs when he escaped.

After he escaped, officers say he stole a 2005 Ford F350 pickup truck. . The truck is burgundy with a tan stripe on the bottom. It has a crew cab, running boards and a toolbox in the bed.

Officers say Hill was last seen at the Bojangles at 4863 Augusta Road in the Ford truck. They are working to pull video from the Bojangles and surrounding businesses in a continued effort to find Hill.

Deputies have not yet said what the suspect was wanted for but that he is considered armed and dangerous.

In response, Riverbank Elementary, Northside Middle School, and Saluda River Academy of the Arts in Lexington School District Two were briefly on outside lockdown. That has since been lifted and dismissal will happen as normal, district officials say.

Officers say Hill has a Superman tattoo on his chest and was wearing a gray shirt.

Deputies had set up a perimeter around the search area and K-9s are assisting deputies in the ground search and drones are searching from the air.

Anyone who believes they see him should call 9-1-1.

Officers say they will provide updates when they get them.
