Fugitive Warrant Dropped After 26 Years Underground

Albert Meredith, an escapee from a South Carolina prison farm, walked from fear as Judge Wayne Olson dropped a fugitive warrant after 26 years underground. Meredith says the 90 day extradition window expired, though South Carolina could pursue further action.

Meredith safeguarded his family by living apart while his wife and children resided nearby.
