 Jail transfer procedures allow one deputy to transport multiple inmates, but two must be present as those inmates are uncuffed. Early investigation leads authorities to believe 63-year-old Harrison Tolliver was the only sheriff's deputy in the holding cell at the time of Abraham Pearson's alleged escape, which would be against standard procedure.

 A Wayne Co. inmate remains on the run after police say he stabbed a sheriff's deputy and carjacked a motorist while escaping from the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice. 
 
 
 
 Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon says the inmate used a plastic comb that had been fashioned into a shank to stab the deputy several times in the neck before he stole part of his uniform and fled the area in a minivan near the downtown courthouse. 
 
 
 
 Napoleon says the deputy was transported to a local hospital and is listed in temporary serious condition. He is expected to fully recover. 
 
 "It was very quick," Napoleon said. "He overcame the deputy, took his clothing, got on the elevator and escaped." 
 
 
 
 Detroit Police Chief James Craig identified the suspect as 25-year-old Abraham Pearson, also known as Derreck White. He is described as a black male, 5' 6" and 155 pounds with dreadlocks. 
 
 Craig says Pearson stole the minivan from a motorist near the courthouse and later abandoned that vehicle on the city's east side. 
 
 
 
 Pearson was scheduled in court Monday to learn his punishment after being convicted last month of carjacking, armed robbery and firearms charges, according to court records. He was being transported, along with two other inmates, when the attack occurred. Napoleon told reporters the deputy was unarmed at the time of the attack. 
 
 Pearson's defense attorney, James Howarth, told the Associated Press he has a history of mental illness but was found competent to stand trial. He said he believes Pearson's mental health issues may have played a role in his escape Monday. 
 
 "In his right mind he would not have done this," Howarth said. "In the year I have known him, he has never showed the slightest symptom of being dangerous. Something is very wrong." 
 
 Of the escape, Howarth said: "It may have been a final act of desperation if you don't want to go to prison." 
 
 
 
 Police are actively searching the area where Pearson abandoned the stolen minivan. 
 
 "We have good information that we're working on," Craig said during a late-morning update to reporters. 
 
 
 
 Pearson may have put on the sheriff's department uniform during the escape, but Craig said it was believed the inmate no longer was wearing it. 
 
 
 
 People who waited outside the courthouse for hearings on Monday morning were allowed to enter a few hours after the escape.

 - The Associated Press contributed to this report ||||| DETROIT (WXYZ) - Police tell 7 Action News that the escaped prisoner who is accused of stabbing a Wayne County deputy at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice has been captured. 
 
 Abraham Pearson was walking along the service drive of I-94 and Mt. Elliot-- trying to get a ride out of town-- when he was spotted by police late Monday. 
 
 A citizen who saw him walking called the tip in to 9-1-1. Police believe Pearson was trying to hitchhike down to Florida. When Detroit Police arrested Pearson, he was wearing a black tank top and casual pants. 
 
 Pearson is facing 10 felony counts including Assault with Intent to Murder and Escape from Jail through Violence. 
 
 The Wayne County Sheriff's Department also has a woman in custody connected to Pearson. 
 
 Police originally named the suspect as Derreck White. However, they have since said that the White name is an alias for Abraham Pearson. 
 
 Pearson's other aliases include the street names D.C. and Weezy. 
 
 State of Michigan records show that Pearson is on parole for Breaking and Entering and Assault. 
 
 Detroit Police Chief James Craig says Pearson also had an extensive criminal history, including several home invasions. 
 
 Sheriff's department records show a Derreck White has been locked up in the Wayne County Jail on $250,000 bond since September 2012. 
 
 Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon says the suspect stabbed the deputy several times in the neck with a sharpened comb that had been turned into a weapon. 
 
 The deputy, who has been identified as 63-year-old Harrison Tolliver, did not suffer life threatening injuries. He was treated at Detroit Receiving Hospital, but has been released. Tolliver is a retired Detroit Police officer who joined the sheriff's office in December. 
 
 Public records show that Pearson, under the White alias, was being transferred from the jail to Frank Murphy for sentencing on a number of felony charges, including carjacking and armed robbery. 
 
 Napoleon says Pearson originally took part of Deputy Tolliver's uniform and used it to escape. Officials say he also took his cell phone and radio. 
 
 Napoleon says Pearson was being placed into a cell with two other inmates at the time of his escape. Deputy Tolliver was not armed during the prisoner transfer. 
 
 The suspect reportedly carjacked a 2000 grey Dodge Voyager minivan with plate BWZ 3916. The van has since been recovered in a vacant lot on Concord, south of E. Lafayette. ||||| Feelin' the Detroit love
