Colorado fugitive who was captured in Florida was leading a posh lifestyle and flaunting his wealth
Associated PressA career fraudster who escaped from a federal prison in Colorado nearly five years ago was captured this week while moving into a $1.5 million house near the ocean on Florida’s Gold Coast, federal officials said Friday. May “was living a lavish lifestyle where he was flaunting his wealth in high society down in south Florida,” Katrina Crouse, chief deputy U.S. marshal for Colorado, said in a phone interview Friday. Marshals Service had been looking for May since December 2018, when he allegedly stole a U.S. Bureau of Prisons truck and escaped from a federal lockup in Englewood, Colorado. “So how he was living high on the hog, we’re not 100% sure yet.” A message was left for the suicide hotline group seeking information about May’s attendance at the fundraiser. A LinkedIn page associated with May said that “Jacob Turner” — his alias — was a “certified mediator” in Palm Beach.
