Original story:
The Eaton County Sheriff's Office is searching for an escaped prisoner in downtown Charlotte.
Jamel Bomar, 36, escaped from custody by fleeing on foot from Sparrow Eaton Hospital after an emergency medical visit.
Bomar was arrested on suspicion of home invasions, stealing a vehicle, and bond violations.
Speaking with Bomar's ex-fiance Afiya Dixon she says that she's afraid that he's after her for "revenge from our past relationship. Me ridding him from the home and breaking it off and telling him to stay away from me and my children. The breakup was not good. I just wanted him to stay away and he did not want to do that."
Dixon says that Bomar is a danger to others. "He has been known to come into people's homes while they're sleeping at night, so I just hope that people are safe."
If anyone sees him they should call 911.
