Joseph Welch, age 57, had ran from Wyoming and had been residing in Alaska.  According to reports Haller arrested, "Joseph Welch on Monday while he was eating dinner at the Tide Pool Restaurant.  Wyoming corrections officials say he was serving up to six years in the Wyoming State Penitentiary when he was transferred to the state hospital for drug rehabilitation.  He escaped from custody in May of 1981."
