Sweet surrender

How much easier to run down fugitives when the fugitives do all the legwork. Parked on the highway near Kings Valley Road, a lucky sheriff’s deputy made what ranks among the easiest collars in the history of crime. Though lacking identification, the young pedestrian who approached his car announced he stood on the wanted side of a $10,000 cash-only bond for drug possession. That morning he’d walked from Bailey to Pine Junction and hitched a ride north for the express and only purpose of making himself a prisoner of the first cop he saw. The first cop he saw took him into custody without incident.
