    Fugitive runs out of gas, calls sheriff for help

    EVANSTON, Wyo. (AP) — A 59-year-old fugitive is back behind bars after he ran out of gas in Wyoming and called the local sheriff's office for roadside assistance.

    The Wyoming Highway Patrol said Tuesday that Richard Vincent of Prineville, Ore., was wanted in Georgia for violating parole on a murder and escape conviction.

    Vincent called the Uinta (YOO'-ihn-tah) County Sheriff's Office sent state troopers to help him out. When they learned that Vincent had an outstanding felony warrant from Atlanta, he was taken into custody.

    Vincent is now being held for Georgia authorities pending extradition.

      59?!! probably had a senior moment. But it's nice to see elderly people still active.

      As that well-known American philosopher, the late Chester A. Riley would have said, "What a revoltin' development this is!"

      Glad the guy is back behind bars, but how did police acquire the information? They didn't even ask my name when they helped me. To play devil's advocate - I thought the police needed probable cause. Does roadside assistance fall into this category? Again, I commend the sheriff, but does this mean that they can run anyone for any reason?

        Jolly Roger: In all probability, someone that stupid very likely gave them the information.
