GREENVILLE COUNTY, SC (FOX Carolina) Early Tuesday afternoon, Greenville County Sheriff’s Office say they located a man who reportedly escaped from a patrol car while in custody on Sunday.

According to deputies, 36-year-old Jeremiah Jason Bock was handcuffed in the backseat of a patrol vehicle while deputies were conducting a narcotics investigation. He somehow managed to escape.
