A former fugitive drug trafficker who eluded police for more than three decades – using the identity of a baby who died in 1955 – was sentenced Friday to 4 years in prison.
Howard Farley Jr.’s life as a free man ended last December when he washe shared with his wife in the 3,000-person town of Weirsdale, Fla. The Nebraska native pleaded guilty in April to three charges related to his stolen identity, including passport fraud.
The case was dropped in 2014 after the leads went cold. The man prosecutors had described as a “drug kingpin" had seemingly disappeared. When federal agents descended on Farley’s home – inside an aviation community known as Love’s Landing – on Dec. 2, 2020, they encountered him inside his private aircraft hanger, prosecutors said in court papers. A fingerprint comparison confirmed that the man living at the house was the drug trafficking suspect, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors argued that Farley in fact broke the law several times while on the run – whenever he applied for a new passport using the fake identity and even when he got behind the wheel of a car using a fraudulent license.
