A fugitive who had been toying with U.S. marshals was captured thanks to a tip from an alert reader of The Examiner, authorities said.

Suspected drug dealer Feroze Kahn Jr., 28, had been on the run for several months, and in January he called the marshals’ office and said he would turn himself in on his own schedule.
