WATCH: Handcuffed inmate breaks free, punches deputy in wild courthouse escape attempt

Wild courthouse video appears to show a newly sentenced Ohio man slipping out of his handcuffs, punching a bailiff and making a desperate run for the exit before deputies stopped his escape.

Timothy J. Reaggle, 20, of Wellsville, allegedly attacked two Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office deputies Monday shortly after learning he would spend a year in prison in a separate case, according to local reports.

Columbiana County Sheriff Brian McLaughlin told WFMJ that both deputies suffered broken bones but have since been released from the hospital.

Video released by the sheriff’s office shows a deputy escorting Reaggle down a hallway after his sentencing. Reaggle then suddenly breaks free of his handcuffs and allegedly punches the deputy before sprinting away.

As he runs down the hallway, Reaggle is seen crashing into another deputy, knocking him to the ground.

Reaggle then allegedly headed toward the courthouse exit, where video shows him sliding down the steps and racing toward the front doors before he was subdued with a Taser and taken into custody.

The video also shows people rushing to assist the injured deputies. One deputy was later seen lying on the floor, bleeding from the head and holding a paper towel against his face, according to WFMJ.

Reaggle had just been sentenced to one year in prison in a case dating to Feb. 14, 2025, according to WKBN.

He pleaded guilty in July to charges including aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, aggravated menacing, failure to comply and two misdemeanor counts of assault.

McLaughlin said Reaggle is being held at the Columbiana County Jail and will eventually be transported to state prison.

Reaggle is also awaiting potential new charges stemming from the courthouse incident.

According to WFMJ, McLaughlin said those charges are expected to include assault on a police officer and felony escape.
