DALTON, Ga. — An escaped inmate was captured in Dalton Wednesday night after two deputy U.S. marshals fired several times into his vehicle, according to a Georgia Bureau of Investigation press release. He was not injured.

Hernan Quijano, 25, of 1300 Lida St., Dalton, had reportedly escaped from a Clayton County transitional facility. According to the press release, at about 11:55 p.m. on Wednesday members of two U.S. Marshals Service task forces were trying to serve fugitive escape warrants for Quijano when several Marshals Service vehicles were hit by Quijano’s vehicle. Two deputy marshals shot into Quijano’s vehicle, leading to a chase and his eventual arrest. No law enforcement officers were injured.

The units involved were the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Smoky Mountains Fugitive Task Force. The names of the officers will not be released, the GBI said, citing Marshals Service policy. The GBI is investigating the incident at the request of the Marshals Service.

Quijano was charged by the Georgia State Patrol with aggravated assault on an officer engaged in duties, crossing a guard line with drugs without consent, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, trafficking in meth, obstruction of an officer by threat or violence, reckless driving and hit and run.

Georgia State Patrol Cpl. E. Tommy Bonaparte said the agency was assisting the Marshals Service.

Ken Dolan, supervisory inspector with the Marshals Service, said he could not say much because of an ongoing investigation.

“But I will say he is a wanted fugitive by the Georgia Department of Corrections for escape, with a prior history of felony possession of guns and narcotics,” Dolan said. “When law enforcement attempted to make an arrest, he hit multiple law enforcement vehicles with a car and attempted to hit law enforcement officers who were on foot with his vehicle as well.”

CBS 46 in Atlanta reported that Quijano walked away from the Clayton Transitional Center in Forest Park on Nov. 23. The TV station reported that he was convicted in September of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon as well as two drug-related offenses and was sentenced to five years in prison.
