A female prisoner escaped police custody early this morning while at Eastern Niagara Hospital-Lockport, stole a vehicle and was eventually captured.
The incident started shortly after midnight when 19-year-old Mariah Long of Niagara Falls fled the hospital after telling police she had to use the bathroom.
Long had been arrested Sunday by Niagara Falls Police and had been in NCSO custody for only a matter of hours.
"She was having her evaluation done and needed to use the restroom," according to Niagara County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Michael P. Dunn, She "pushed past our corrections officer who was there and ran right for the door."
Her disappearance resulted in massive police activity around ENH and a police helicopter searching overhead.
Dunn said Long took cover inside a nearby garage and used a landline phone in that garage to phone a friend.
"One of her companions had come to pick her up," he said. "But apparently when they got to the area, they got scared and did not stay." So instead police say Long stole a black pickup truck that she had found inside the garage.
NCSO attempted to "ping" her cell phone in case she somehow still had it on her, but that had negative results. "One of the witnesses said they saw her with a phone," Dunn said. "At that point, we were looking at anything we possibly find."
They eventually did find her -- still in Lockport -- driving the pickup truck on Woodlawn Avenue shortly after 4 a.m., where she was re-apprehended and returned to Niagara County Jail.
Dunn said she is under normal security at the jail, but they now consider her to be a "security concern."
NOTE: Story updated at 9:07 a.m. with more details and a photo of Long.

The nurses union at East Niagara Hospital have agreed to a three-year contract which calls for an 8 percent raise over the course of the deal.
The contract, which covers 157 employees at ENH-Lockport, was approved by the nursing staff nearly unanimously on Thursday. It is retroactive to April 1.
ENH healthcare workers have been at odds with hospital administration, calling for a change in hospital leadership last month. That squabble listed several concerns with the administration, but did not mention pay for nurses. It is unknown if the new contract voids the group's demands.
A call to ENH-Lockport representatives was not returned Monday evening.

A Niagara Falls man was charged with DWI and driving without a license Thursday night following a crash in which a car went 40 feet over an embankment.
According to the Lockport Police Department report, James B. DeLong, 30, 608 17th St., was driving at North Transit Street and Glenwood Avenue when his car went off the road and down the steep incline.
DeLong and a passenger in the vehicle were both injured in the crash. DeLong was transported by Twin City Ambulance to Erie County Medical Center, where DeLong was eventually charged with DWI. His female passenger was taken to Eastern Niagara Hospital-Lockport.
Originally, DeLong hadn't been charged — although police had determined him to be intoxicated — because he claimed not to be driving the vehicle. Further interview and investigation led LPD to conclude that he was, however.
In addition to DWI, DeLong was charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. He is slated to be in City Court on Monday.

TOWN OF LOCKPORT — A Lincoln Place man was arrested in the parking lot of a Transit Road gas station early Tuesday morning after Niagara County Sheriff's deputies say they found him doing heroin.

Lockport Mayor Anne McCaffrey said via email this evening that the water issues Saturday at Eastern Niagara Hospital-Lockport are isolated to the hospital.
The water issue at the hospital is not a city water issue - it is specific only to the hospital. Our Water Filtration Plant on Summit Street treats city water 24 hours a day. The water leaving the plant is tested hourly for chlorine and turbidity. In addition, there are 10 distribution sample sites throughout the city where our water department staff test the water for chlorine, turbidity and bacti. The Chief Operator of the Water Filtration Plant, Pete Degnan, has confirmed to me that all of our tests are in the normal range and city water continues to be completely safe.ENH-Lockport officials said Saturday afternoon that the water within the hospital was being chlorinated in response to a potential Legionella case. The process was expected to take a few hours.
"The public should be assured that there is no outbreak of Legionella and that the Hospital is acting expeditiously to assure the highest levels of water purity," according to an ENH press release.
