Sometimes, the name DOES define the person.

He's a low life. I can't believe he didn't keep going until he hit Venezuela. He probably could have hid out there indefinitely with a little bribery.

Police were reportedly alerted to his location after he connected to the restaurant's Wi-Fi.

Dumb enough to deserve to be captured.

These kind of things always beg the question for me -- where is his family?

Is he married? Did he have a girlfriend/significant other?

What about children? Have any? Living parents?

To up and run like that and just escape from everything you've ever known is something. I just if you're going to prison anyway, maybe you see it as the lesser of two evils (created by yourself), but still....

Anybody know (without having to do a bunch of research) what his family/personal life was like?

Guess he should have just lived on the Appalachian trail like that one guy did.

I was kinda hoping he'd avoid getting caught for a long time, become Kentucky's version of someone like DB Cooper.

I don't even understand how he got convicted. Disability fraud is so common in Eastern Kentucky they'd save time to just put up a fence around the whole place and ask the 10 people not involved to move. ;)

BTW, that's just a joke, and not fair to Appalachia. The truth is there aren't 10 people in the whole country anywhere that are more than 1 degree of separation from disability fraud.

"Do you want to make any statement, Mr. Conn? How does it feel to be back?"

lol. Sometimes...these questions...

Eric Conn transported back to Lexington.
