A trial date has been set for the Virginia Department of Corrections inmate who escaped state custody in 2023 while receiving treatment at a hospital.
Naseem Isaiah Roulack’s two-day jury trial is currently scheduled to start on Monday, Dec. 2, in Henrico County Circuit Court.
“The Virginia Department of Corrections is pleased to see this case proceeding to trial,” said Chad Dotson, VADOC Director. “Our agency will continue to pursue prosecution to the fullest extent of the law for any inmate who escapes state custody.”
Roulack escaped VADOC custody at Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital in Henrico County in August 2023 after two officers fell asleep on the job. Roulack was captured by the U.S. Marshals Service and Fairfax County Police Department on Oct. 25.
Roulack was serving a 13-year sentence at Greensville Correctional Center for aggravated malicious wounding, grand larceny and hit-and-run. In addition to charges related to his escape, Roulack may also face charges for the robbery of a Richmond man following his escape and the armed theft of an automobile in Montgomery County, Md.
A Washington, D.C. woman, Sasha Castillo, faces a felony charge for aiding Roulack in his escape. She was indicted by a Richmond Circuit Court grand jury in July.
The two officers who admitted to being asleep at the hospital resigned their jobs on Aug. 23, 2023.
