A homeless man in San Francisco who reported sighting a stolen van being used by two jail fugitives could end up collecting $140,000 in reward money, according to a newspaper account.
Matthew Hay-Chapman told the San Francisco Chronicle he often sleeps in a park but still follows current events and knew the fugitives might be nearby when he spotted the white van.
He alerted police and a short time later Hossein Nayeri and Jonathan Tieu were in custody. Another inmate, Bac Duong, had turned himself in a day earlier at an auto shop near the Orange County jail where the escape occurred on Jan. 22.
The 55-year-old Hay-Chapman told the Chronicle that he hopes to use the reward money to rebuild his life and help his troubled son, disabled daughter and two young grandchildren who are in foster care in Oregon.
Representatives from the San Francisco Police Department did not respond immediately to NBC Bay Area on Wednesday to confirm the account.
Duong surrendered Friday. Nayeri and Tieu were arrested Saturday morning in San Francisco. Ten people had been arrested since the escape. Several other arrests — for unrelated warrants or probation issues — also took place during the manhunt. Nayeri had been in custody since September 2014, Tieu since October 2013 and Duong since December.
“hookers and cocaine!”
Very cool
Yep, it’ll be gone in a matter of days.
Hope he endorses Trump... “:^)
$140,000 will get you absolutely nothing in San Francisco. But maybe he could move to an affordable place to live like Texas or Tennessee with that money. Otherwise he will have to use something like airbnb to find affordable housing at his current location. (Okay. Maybe I am exaggerating, but only a little.)
He doesn’t live in San Francisco.
He wouldn’t need to go that far.
Well that should keep him loaded with the 'good' stuff for a bout 35 years:
Hopefully, he will use the money to get a new start and not piss it away—provided he isn’t screwed out of the reward in the first place.
If its tax free then great! Otherwise it won’t amount to squat.
Friggin govt. thieves.
I hope he can build a better life. . . but doesn't his story just seem like what is happening all over America, and why we are doomed? What a mess.
And the rest he'll just waste.
This story just had me wondering what happened to “The man with the golden voice” and came across this....
