An individual being transferred to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding facility escaped from a moving vehicle Sunday in Burns Harbor.

Indiana State Police say an ICE officer was transporting the individual westbound on I-94 near Exit 22 when the suspect broke free from his restraints and jumped from the vehicle.

The suspect ran north across the highway and into a wooded area. Indiana State Police and local officers searched for several hours before spotting the suspect near a marsh.

Police say the suspect had been hiding in the water for more than five hours and was cold and wet when taken into custody. No further incident was reported.
