Inmate who escaped from police custody back behind bars

Hunt for escaped man ends without incident From CTV Kitchener: David Goyit, who escaped custody earlier this week, was apprehended Wednesday evening by Brantford Police.

The hunt for a man who escaped police custody in Brantford has come to an end.

David Goyit was arrested Wednesday night at a home on Sixth Avenue without incident after police received a tip.

He had escaped custody outside the Brantford Jail two days earlier, while wearing leg shackles.

According to police, a small piece of the leg iron from his shackles was found in his pocket at the time of the arrest.

On Monday morning, the 33 year old and another inmate were being escorted from the Market Street jail to a custody transport vehicle.

Police say the other inmate became “violent and aggressive” towards the two officers.

His attempt to escape was unsuccessful, and it was Goyit who ran away.

The escape led to a large police presence in downtown Brantford. A nearby school was also placed under a hold and secure.

Goyit had been jailed for breaching conditions related to theft and fraud charges. He is now charged with two counts of breaching probation and escaping custody.
