Speedy Gonzalez Arrested For Mail Fraud During Traffic Stop In Georgia

Speedy Gonzalez , 35

After spending nearly two months on the run, Speedy Gonzalez was nabbed by police in Georgia during a routine traffic stop. Federal authorities had been looking for Gonzalez since March when he was identified as a suspect in a case of mail fraud.

Authorities accused Speedy, which is his legal name, of stealing checks from a mailbox in January. Officials said that he used the money to purchase $3,000 worth of items from Home Depot, which he later returned for cash.

Gonzalez managed to evade capture for more than six weeks. Officials said he was spotted in Tennessee before he was finally arrested in Georgia.

Gonzalez was taken into custody and is facing charges of forgery, identity theft, and theft by deception. He also has outstanding warrants on similar counts in Alabama and another county in Georgia.
