Last week, the District Attorney said Rone ran from the courthouse after a judge ordered he be taken into custody.

Surveillance footage shows a deputy trying to stop Rone on his way out, but they ran into a metal detector, injuring the deputy.

He was appearing in court last week for cases involving gun charges.
