TL;DR

Kaitlin Armstrong, the woman accused of killing professional cyclist Moriah "Mo" Wilson, attempted to escape custody while leaving a medical office building in Austin. After a 10-minute pursuit, officers caught up to her and restrained her. Armstrong's trial for first-degree murder was set to begin on October 30. She had previously fled the country but was apprehended in Costa Rica and now faces additional federal charges for misusing a passport. The sheriff's office could not disclose specific security measures used during the transport, but it is not uncommon for inmates to be taken to medical facilities when specialized treatment is required.
