Lee County Fugitive Arrested


October 1, 2018

Walter Lang (9-7-80) was placed on probation for possession of heroin by the courts in Lee County less than one month ago. Lang, who has a long history of arrests, didn’t last long on probation. He absconded from supervision almost immediately. However, living life on the run was short lived for him.

The Levy County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit this morning that Lang was hiding at a home located at 11490 SE 37 Lane in Morriston.  Investigators and the LCSO Patrol Division responded to the home and were able to locate and arrest Lang within two hours of the tip being received.

Lang was transported and will be held at the Levy County Detention Facility pending transfer back to Lee County for his violation of probation charge.
