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.

Maybe we should send him to serve the rest of his sentence in Gitmo

Yes because his crimes are on the same level as Terrorists. Oh yeah he really deserves to be locked up with a bunch of murderers and radicals.

Maybe people shouldnt make stupid comments.
