75-Year-Old To Finally Be Thrown Back In Jail

Hey, so today authorities got an extremely dangerous criminal off the streets! Was it a murderer? Nah. Was it a rapist? Duh, of course not. It was a 75-year-old man who escaped from prison 28 years ago!

He served about four months of a 4- to 10-year prison sentence on a drug charge. He’s being held in Philadelphia before being extradited to Jersey, where he escaped from the since-closed Camp Marlboro in 1979. (I assume it was constructed out of cigarettes, making it rather easy to escape.)

And, look who hung around with the authorities who were capturing this dangerous crook!

Journalists from The Associated Press rode along with authorities when they arrested Jurado on Wednesday. He said that he managed to avoid being caught for all these years because he avoided breaking the law while, and moved around frequently.

Woo-hoo! Way to do, everybody involved. Clearly, we are all safer today with this law-breaking citizen off our streets.

Also, his name is Maximo Jurado. Awesome. Maximo Jurado! It sounds like a brand of tequila.
