The FBI is again taking up the search for
an Arkansas man who escaped from jail in 1988.
Jerome Allen Bargo was arrested on a drug charge in North
Carolina earlier this month. But he gave police an alias and was
released before his identity was verified through fingerprints.
Bargo has escaped from Arkansas jails at least four times, the
last time on May 10th, 1988, while serving 140 years for the
attempted murder of a Bentonville police officer and a string of
thefts.
The 48-year-old has eluded police, the FBI and US marshals
despite appearing at least four times on popular television shows
"America`s Most Wanted" and "Unsolved Mysteries" and in a set
of 100 playing cards entitled "Wanted by the FBI."
