COPS RECOGNIZE FUGITIVE IN LOW-BUDGET HORROR FILM

A fugitive has been arrested after federal agents saw his photo in a Washington state newspaper that ran a story about a low-budget horror movie. Jason Stange, a 44-year-old convicted bank robber, plays a leading role in the movie, “Marla Mae.” The Olympian newspaper ran a feature story on the film Friday with photos that showed Stange on the film set in Olympia. Federal agents tracked down Stange and arrested him Friday at a restaurant close to the filming location. Stange had pleaded guilty to an armed bank robbery in 2006 and was given a 117-month prison sentence, but he walked away from a halfway house in Spokane before his sentence was over. The film’s producer says Stange will remain in the film, which is scheduled for release in 2016.
* Bad actor! BAD actor!!
* This guys lucky. Most actors can’t get arrested.
* Yet Adam Sandler walks the streets a free man.
* Sounds like he’ll be doing a cameo down at the federal pen.
* Still think there’s no such thing as bad publicity?
* That’s show business. You start in a promo shot and end up in a mug shot.
* Maybe he’ll be out in time for the sequel.
