Avast ye, me hearties! Alan Todd May, a scoundrel of 58 winters, aye, a convicted fraudster who dared escape from a Colorado brig in 2018, be now caught red-handed whilst settlin' into a grandiose mansion in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Aye, justice be served!
A career fraudster, Alan Todd May, who escaped from a federal prison in Colorado five years ago, was captured while moving into a $1.5 million house in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. May was living under the name "Jacob Turner" and was living a lavish lifestyle, flaunting his wealth in high society. He was arrested by federal marshals while movers were unloading a U-Haul truck at his new house. May was wearing a Rolex watch and driving a high-end Mercedes at the time of the arrest. He had been on the run for 3 1/2 years and had managed to steal another $700,000 while in custody by filing fraudulent documents. The U.S. Marshals Service had been looking for May since 2018 when he escaped from a federal lockup. The marshals renewed their efforts to find him after he was indicted in an oil-and-gas scheme last year. They received tips from several states before finally capturing him. May's arrest raises questions about whether he had help and where his apparent riches came from. Investigators are looking into these matters. May's story is a prime example of the challenges faced by the federal Bureau of Prisons, which has struggled with prison security. With May back in custody, authorities can now focus on determining the extent of his crimes and who else may have been victimized by him.
