An Ohio fugitive who’s been on the run for 18 years has been captured in Florida, according to U.S. Marshals.
According to a media release, Craig Scanlon, 68, was arrested late Monday afternoon in Miami. Officials said the wanted man was found to be living and working in Miami Beach as a personal trainer and hotel manager in the 6500 block of Collins Avenue.
In 2001, Scanlon was convicted in federal court of multiple charges, including mail fraud and money laundering. Officials said he embezzled money and defrauded clients out of nearly $700,000.
“After Scanlon served 46 months incarceration at the Bureau of Prisons he was ordered to serve three years of federal supervised release. While on supervised release, in 2007 Scanlon went on the run and has not been seen since,” stated the release.
Over the years, investigators said they followed up on leads of his possible whereabouts and within the last few weeks found Scanlon living and working in Miami Beach.
“As officers approached Scanlon, he first provided a fake name of August Brooke but ultimately admitted he was in fact Craig Scanlon,” stated the release. (Fox, but headline reworked)
