Salem — A Lawrence man accused of a violent home invasion is on the loose after escaping from state custody outside Salem Superior Court this morning.

Miguel Caraballo, 37, was dressed in an orange prison and shackled at the hands, feet and waist when he slipped away from correctional officers at about 8:05 a.m.

He was at the courthouse for a pretrial conference for his case, in which he faces numerous charges including home invasion, kidnapping and assault, according to Paul Fleming, a spokesman for the Essex County Sheriff’s Office.

“He somehow managed to shuffle away from the gentlemen who were watching him,” said Fleming.

Caraballo got into a white Nissan Maxima, which authorities believe was driven by a woman, possibly his girlfriend.

Almost an hour after the escape, police found the stolen Maxima, with the shackles inside, on Kimball Court, a small street next to the Salem Witch Museum near Salem Common. Sources says the car, which was found less than a half-mile from the court, may have been stolen.

Correctional officers were watching about 10 other prisoners at the time of Caraballo’s escape, Fleming said.

Anyone who has information about the escape or Caraballo’s whereabouts is asked to call the Essex County Sheriff’s Office at 978-750-1900. In a photo provided by the Essex County Sheriff’s Department, he appears white, with short black hair and a possible scar on his nose just below the eyebrows, but no further physical description was available at press time.

Caraballo, whose last known address is at 243 Prospect St. in Lawrence, had been held in the Middleton jail since April 16 on $100,000 cash bail.

He faces charges of home invasion, kidnapping, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, larceny of a motor vehicle and larceny over $250 in connection with an incident in Haverhill in December 2007. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

He also was being held on federal charges that he violated the conditions of release on a federal conviction of conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property when he allegedly committed the home invasion.

“He’s certainly not a nice person,” Fleming said, noting Caraballo has a long criminal record.

The state police Special Tactical Operations team arrested Caraballo in April on the second floor of 10 Prince St. in Lowell, and he has been incarcerated since then. The Essex County District Attorney’s Office said at the time that police had burst into the residence after Caraballo said he would use any means necessary, including a shootout with police, to avoid being re-arrested and returned to prison.

Incidents of prisoners escaping while being transported to court are “very, very rare,” Fleming said.
