After over 40 years on the run, this guy called the cops and gave up.  The reason is kinda sad.

In 1971, Clarence David Moore was locked up for larceny but, escaped from the North Carolina jail he was being held in.  He was 23 then and now, at the age of 66, decided to quit running and give himself up to the police.  His reason?  Medical care.

Moore has several different medical conditions and can't walk.  He couldn't get treated anywhere because, being on the run, he had no official forms of identification so he gave himself up just to get treated for his ailments.  It's still up to authorities to decide whether or not they want to extradite him though. Theoretically, they could decide not to and leave him to fend for himself.

Other fugitives have turned themselves in for the same reason and one guy recently surrendered because it was too cold outside.
