RAF LAKENHEATH, England — A nationwide manhunt for a jailed airman who escaped from custody was still under way Thursday afternoon.

Airman Basic Jeremy Parrott, 29, fled RAF Lakenheath after eluding an escort who was accompanying him to an appointment at the hospital Wednesday afternoon, according to base officials.

It is not clear exactly how Parrott got away from his escort, Tech. Sgt. Jill LaVoie, Lakenheath spokeswoman, said.

"Right now our main focus is apprehending him," she said Thursday.

Security Forces searched buildings and outbound vehicles for several hours after the incident happened about 2 p.m. British law enforcement has been called in to help with the search for Parrott.
