MORGANTOWN, Ky. (AP) - A Kentucky sheriff drove 4,100 miles toCalifornia to pick up a fugitive, then realized when he got back he
had the wrong guy.
Butler County Sheriff Joe Gaddie and a deputy used the long arm
of the law to find a man named Joe Oros, who was wanted on charges
of fleeing and evading police and drunken driving.
Oros was awaiting release from a California jail. Officials
notified Gaddie when a check showed an outstanding warrant in
Kentucky. The sheriff headed to California and picked him up.
But as it turns out, the man wanted in Kentucky had stolen Oros'
identity. After finding the mistake, Butler County officials paid
for Oros to fly back to California. Meanwhile, the real suspect
they're searching for is still on the lam.

okay..i’m calling a truce Tide Fan, this verbal war has gone on long enough.
And I just have to rub my two pennies together in here. I think people who are politically correct are offensive! No sense being fake. If you want to call a person a name that they don’t like then be prepared to roll with the punches because you’ll probably get them. Otherwise just be plain respectful of others and you’ll get it in return.
