A great outcome to an unbelievably fucked up mess. Not the Frein manhunt, the fact that this guy will no longer be repeatedly stopped, abused, and even assaulted by the clowns that wear the badge in this area. And yes, I DO live here. These are the guys that spent well over ten million to search for a guy that claimed that they had "contained" in a very specific area. During that time, as many locals will attest, basic rights of the citizens were trampled. Want to return to your home to get necessary medications? Tough shit. Want to have your vacation home ransacked while you are hours away? No? Tough shit. During all this, they took the time to repeatedly abuse the same citizen, traveling the same streets, every day as he walked to work. A short Google search will confirm the most pathetic fact of his story, that being, the victim bears not even a faint resemblance to the suspect.
BTW, they not only failed to locate him in an area where they assured the public that he was trapped, they didn't find him at all. It took US Marshals, searching an abandoned resort, a half day's hike from where the PSP had him "trapped", to bring this circus to a close. At that point he surrendered without a fight, but appeared for arraignment with a broken nose and other signs of assault. More disgusting, yet unsurprising behavior by PA's "finest".
As for the car, the victim not only did a great job handling the money, he planned ahead for upcoming expenses. He bought a $9K used Subaru wagon and banked the remainder for operating expenses. Good for him!
