Caught by his tinted windows:
A banker who vanished in an apparent suicide in 2012 and was wanted by the FBI in connection with a $20 million wire fraud case has been arrested in Georgia after being pulled over for a minor traffic violation.
Aubrey Lee Price, 47, was arrested after being stopped for a tinted window violation on Interstate 95 ...
Officers said that it was clear Price was giving them false information during the stop and they were soon able to determine that he was wanted by the FBI.
His arrest comes more than a year after a Florida judge had declared Price to be legally dead.
Despite the judge's ruling, the FBI had continued to search for him and had offered a reward of up to $20,000 for his capture.
He disappeared in June 2012 after sending a rambling letter to his family and acquaintances that investigators took to be a confession....
Authorities believe Price slipped away with up to $17 million of investors' money.
He has been indicted in federal courts in New York and Georgia, and the Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a complaint against him in federal court in Atlanta.
FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett said that he didn't know whether Price's wife and children had known that he was still alive.
His family had previously told investigators they believed Price was dead.
Price left his home in south Georgia on June 16, 2012, telling his family he was headed to Guatemala for business, authorities have said.
Two days later, Price's family and acquaintances received letters saying he was going to Key West to board a ferry headed to Fort Meyers and planned to jump off somewhere along the way to end his life.

Busted by a tinted windshield...oh, the irony.

After and before
Our Creator does have a wicked sense of irony, doesn't He?
Tinted windshield bust...that's for the books.

Maybe so, but most drug runners and criminal types passing through on the highway in our rural area are caught when they are pulled over for minor traffic infractions like tinted windows, expired tags, tail light out, etc.
Glad they nabbed this guy. Hope he rats and cops a plea.
