CARTERSVILLE, Ga. — An inmate being transported from Florida to Indiana escaped from a transport van while it was stopped at a Pizza Hut.

CBS News reports that Sean Killion, 42, was shackled when he overpowered a female officer who was moving him from the van and ran off. The officer was slightly injured.

A private contracting company was transporting Killion, according to WXIA.

The van was allegedly at the Pizza Hut to pick up pre-ordered pizzas. Killion was last seen behind a Martin’s Restaurant on Highway 41, about a mile away from the Pizza Hut.

He is a federal prisoner who was being held on a U.S. Marshals warrant, and has a history of escaping from custody. He was being extradited back to Indiana on an outstanding warrant for probation violation.
