Johnston escapee turns himself in
A Johnston man who had escaped over the weekend from a federal correctional facility in New Jersey surrendered to U.S. Marshals today in Providence.
Rocco DeSimone surrendered at 9 a.m. – with his lawyer – at the Pastore Building, off Kennedy Plaza, according to a statement from the U.S. Marshals office.
DeSimone was sentenced in 2005 to serve 27 months in federal prison for tax fraud in connection with the sale of a Claude Monet painting. He was being held in the Fairton Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey.
