"The capture of a convicted rapist after three decades on the run from the police has stunned a small Iowa community where he was seen as a mentor to generations of teenagers at a “homeless mansion” in the woods.
George Hartleroad’s arrest in West Des Moines made national headlines due to its innocuous spark: officers stopped him in the street on June 26 for riding a bike without reflectors. Body-camera video released this week shows the officers telling Hartleroad the name he had given them belonged to a dead man, at which point he reveals his true identity and fugitive status."
Crazy stuff.
