Police capture man on the lam for 20 years - Two blocks from the police station


Florida - Orlando police caught up with a man who has been a fugitive for 20 years this morning - just two blocks from police headquarters. Timothy Scott, 53, had been working at the Johnson's Diner for 19 months under one of his five aliases. His employer knew him as 62-year-old Waldo Scott, a longtime friend who had a different Social Security number and a good reputation as a chef. "It looks like he was trying to make an honest living. But you have to be accountable to what the court rules," said Orlando Police Sgt. Barb Jones.
A Pinellas County judge sentenced Scott to life in prison in 1974, for committing two armed robberies in Clearwater. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - One Hanes Place
