Fugitive found hiding in coal bin during Illinois manhunt
Marcia and Tom Taylor discovered Melvin Johnson, 20, hiding in their Dowell basement coal bin after a daylong search by state and local authorities near Elkville. Johnson, sought on auto theft and forcible entry charges and with warrants for deviant sexual assault and related counts, was unarmed and led away after a tense standoff with Trooper Carlos Tolbert. Johnson had entered the home before dawn and planned to flee at night. The incident left the Taylors shaken, with Mrs. Taylor unable to sleep.
