Front Run the Fed - loved the name of that horse.
But now it will remind me of Justin Costello who thought he could do just that!

"The FBI tried to track Costello by his known cellphone numbers but were unsuccessful," prosecutors wrote. "It is believed Costello took countersurveillance measures to prevent being tracked on devices registered to those numbers."

The FBI eventually "was able to track Costello through location information received from the theft recovery service for the Alfa Romeo vehicle he was driving," the filing revealed.

The SWAT team tracked that car to a remote area of El Cajon, California, where they saw him walking wearing the backpack, the filing said.

When agents arrested him, Costello "stated he was surprised agents had found him because he turned his phone off."

He also told the agents he had not surrendered as agreed, "because he recently had a stroke and needed to recover."

"Costello said that he could have outrun the SWAT agents but for the stroke," the filing said. "Costello admitted that he was the person charged in the Indictment and encouraged agents to 'Google' him to read about the case," it continued.
