GRAPEVINE - A Dallas hospital spokeswoman says a Florida
detective wounded by a prisoner who was escaping has been released by doctors.
April Foran with Parkland Memorial Hospital says Miami-Dade Detective Jaime
Pardinas was released Saturday morning. She would not comment on Pardinas'
health status.
Police say Pardinas suffered deep stab wounds to the neck, shoulder and back
and a collapsed lung Monday when prisoner Alberto Morales stabbed him using a
sharp piece from a pair of eyeglasses.
Pardinas and another detective were transporting Morales from Miami to
Nevada to serve a 30-year-to-life sentence for sexual assault.
They had stopped near a Wal-Mart store in Grapevine, Texas to wait for a
third officer to join them.
Morales escaped and was fatally shot early Saturday when he resisted arrest
after a five-day manhunt.
