FBI’s long-arm-of-the-law reaches fugitive living new life as a pastor in Alabama

Justice Dept Finds FBI Abuse Of Patriot Act Provision WASHINGTON - MARCH 09: The seal of the F.B.I. hangs in the Flag Room at the bureau's headquaters March 9, 2007 in Washington, DC. F.B.I. Director Robert Mueller was responding to a report by the Justice Department inspector general that concluded the FBI had committed 22 violations in its collection of information through the use of national security letters. The letters, which the audit numbered at 47,000 in 2005, allow the agency to collect information like telephone, banking and e-mail records without a judicially approved subpoena.

It’s only a matter of time until this is made into a script for a TV show.

A man who has been on the run from the FBI was captured in Alabama on November 19th after assuming a new identity as a pastor.

Larry Albert Flake, age 74, was convicted of Sexual Misconduct with a Minor in Indiana in August, 2001.

After he failed to appear for trial, he was sought after by federal agents.

The FBI says he was living under the name Larry White and was a pastor at a church near Birmingham—those in the area knew him as Reverend White.

The FBI found him due to an unnamed source, and say without the lead, Flake would not have been found.

Flake will face extradition to be returned to Indiana, according to the FBI.
