ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A man who escaped from an Orange County deputy was already on the run from the law, according to law enforcement. Skywitness 9-HD recorded the escapee's arrest at a brick yard, Monday afternoon, near Orlando Regional Medical Center.

The man wouldn't give deputies his real name. Randy Nusati goes by at least three different names. He's had his share of trouble in Maryland where he's wanted on a probation violation, but it appears that first he'll face a laundry list of charges in Central Florida.
Randy Nusati is no longer a John Doe. The Orange County DUI suspect gave a deputy the slip at ORMC Monday morning when his cuffs were removed for medical treatment. He was located in a brick yard near the hospital almost three hours later.
"It had to be something more to it," eyewitness Robert Kerce said.
Kerce was just one of the employees in the area who witnessed the search for a man who the sheriff's office says clearly didn't want to go to jail. Nusati, 26, is accused of scuffling with a deputy before escaping in nothing more than his boxers and a pair of shoes.
Once the jail made a positive I.D. on Randy Nusati, also known as Syvash Randall Ayazi, a warrant from Montgomery County, Maryland popped up for robbery and escape. It was issued in March, but WFTV was told, it stems from a violation of probation on a 2006 robbery case.

"Both jurisdictions will look at the charges and see how justice is best served," said Cpl. Susan Soto, Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the Montgomery Police Department told WFTV they're not likely to extradite.
Nusati is charged with two felony counts of battery on a law enforcement officer. Deputies said the first occurred during his DUI arrest, the second during his escape. His escape is a third felony charge.
Then there are charges for attempting to injure a police dog and providing false I.D. to an officer. Each of Nusati's felony charges could mean up to five years in prison.
The DUI charge Nusati originally faced was a misdemeanor.
WFTV went to visit Nusati's Orlando neighborhood, and was told he was a friendly guy who stayed with a number of residents up and down the street.
He told one of them he moved from Maryland for a fresh start. Now he is in the Orange County jail, being held on $10,000 bond on his Orange County charges. But his Maryland warrant means he won't be released.
