Sounds like a McDonald’s employee ID’d him and called it in.
Soon we’ll see how much of a new identity and new life in a new location $50k can buy
It’s worth noting that we don’t know exactly why they called the cops. It appears the cops didn’t know who he was until they had him pull down his mask. I’m guessing he was quite the sight after several days on the run, and probably several nights without much sleep. Some reporting also stated that they called the police on behest of an alarmed customer.
Everyone please upvote this comment above. I want the mods to see this person calling for bad intentions on someone making minimum wage and turning in a murderer for a not insignificant reward.
They found on him a three page document that indicated “some ill-will toward corporate America” and the id used at the hostel. They are “scrubbing” his social media, by which I hope they mean scrutinizing.
