Inmate Who Escaped Custody at Iowa Hospital Caught
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Authorities say a suspected bank robber who escaped custody at an Iowa hospital and eluded authorities in his hospital gown and flip-flops has been captured near the Iowa-Illinois border.

Iowa City police said in a Wednesday night statement that Anthony Koehlhoeffer had been caught by law enforcement in the Quad Cities area. The Quad Cities include Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa and Moline and Rock Island in Illinois.

No other details were immediately released.
Koehlhoeffer was taken to University Hospitals in Iowa City on Tuesday for treatment under a court order.
