Norwich – A city man about to be taken into police custody today for failing to pay child support jumped a rail in the courthouse and ran away, police said.

Elton Canuto’s run out of the GA 21 courthouse is not an escape, said state judicial branch spokesperson Rhonda Stearley-Hebert, because he was not shackled or yet in police custody.

Stearley-Hebert said Norwich and state police were notified by the court marshals after the 12:20 p.m. dash, but Canuto was not apprehended.

Stearley-Hebert said she did not know what charges Canuto, 28, would face if apprehended.
