Overview

  • Harvey was taken into custody on June 12 in Nevada City, California, ending a 31-year manhunt after his 1994 escape from FCI Dublin.
  • Deputy U.S. Marshal Cruz Moya said a fresh lead early this year uncovered Harvey’s whereabouts after decades of evasion.
  • Federal records show he originally escaped while serving a sentence for an illegal marijuana farm that boasted over 600 plants and several firearms.
  • His roommate, DeeVee Brown, said she regularly checked with the county sheriff’s office and was unaware of his fugitive status.
  • Marshals say Harvey must serve roughly four years of his original sentence and could face extra time for the escape and evading authorities.
