Fugitive Idaho developer captured in LA
SPOKANE, Wash. — A fugitive lawyer accused of stealing millions of dollars in an Idaho real estate development has been captured in Los Angeles after living for years in Mexico.
Federal agents arrested Claude Irwin Jr. of Spokane as he stepped off a plane in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
The 62-year-old Irwin has been wanted in Spokane County since 1998. That’s a year after he vanished and left his Powderhorn Ridge Ranch development near Harrison, Idaho, owing at least $3 million.
