MD Oldtimer arrested at age 81

"Forty-three years ago Willie Carroll Parker conned a man into helping him escape from a prison work camp on the Eastern Shore.

For the first few years he evaded the law - moving from city to city and using fake names - but finally he became convinced that Maryland authorities had stopped looking for him.

He was wrong."

He didn't want to be locked up, and to this day he says that he wasn't really involved with the drug ring.

"I'll tell you why I walked out," Parker said yesterday. "The charge they had me on. ... I didn't do it."

Wonder if this isn't Jimmy's long-lost father. That would make their pathology three-generations deep.

Just goes to show, you can run, but you can't hide!

Why bother with this guy. He is sick and wont be around that much longer anyway.

Why spend $5,000 a month to keep this man in jail?

Its not like he is hurting anyone. Drop this thing now while he is still in North Carolina and they are paying his nursing home bills.

Lmao. Why would they want to put an old ass man in jail? Waste of time and money.

Why would they want to put an old ass man in jail?

Because he's a criminal?

Because the challenge to authority is considered a worse offense then the actually threat to society the person presents.
