A 55-year-old fugitive who had been on the run for eight years after escaping from a federal prison in California has been caught and indicted, the U.S. attorney’s office said last week. According to Talbert’s office, Pree was convicted on federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges in 2012. “Pree did not have permission to leave the Atwater facility and remained at large until his arrest” nearly two months ago, Talbert’s office states in its news release. In October, investigators found Pree in the city of Walnut Creek in California and arrested him there. Pree is back in federal custody to serve the remainder of his original sentence as he faces an additional charge for his alleged prison escape.
