Auburn, N.Y. A former Cayuga County town supervisor, who skipped town in 1997 instead of facing a second jail term, was found this week limping along an Ohio road using an assumed identity, authorities said.
A police officer in Waverly, Ohio took the man to a local hospital, but became concerned when the man had no identification, Cayuga County deputies said.
An investigation revealed that the man was William L. Jones, a wanted fugitive out of New York. Jones had been living in Ohio for an unknown period of time under a fake identity.
