An Oregon fugitive who escaped from a prison work crew 30 years ago was arrested in Georgia, where he was found at an apartment complex living under a stolen identity for more than a decade, according to federal authorities.
Steven Craig Johnson, now 70, was arrested about 2 p.m. Tuesday in Macon, Georgia, where he was known as “William Cox,” a name he had assumed that belonged to a child who had died in Texas in January 1962, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. Johnson had obtained a copy of the dead child’s birth certificate and Social Security number, according to federal officials.
