A wanted man from Wisconsin who ran away 30 years ago is back in jail.
Police in West Des Moines arrested 71-year-old George Hartleroad for not having a reflective light on the back of his bike. It was then that they learned Hartleroad was wanted for running away from a Madison halfway house back in 1995. He’s still wanted to this day. Police say Hartleroad told them he’d run away again if let go. Hartleroad did time in Wisconsin for a rape in Chippewa County, and was wanted for false imprisonment and having a rifle. Hartleroad has been in the Dane County Jail since early July.
State prison officials say they intend to have him serve out the rest of his sentence.
