In a revealing interview, Gregory Scarpa Jr. shared the story of his capture after fleeing a major DEA investigation into narcotics and extortion. After going on the run in 1987, Scarpa spent months moving between Florida and New Jersey, staying with family and trying to stay under the radar. However, while hiding out at a hotel in New Jersey with his wife and infant child, his wife unknowingly exposed their location. Seeking cigarettes late at night, she stepped out to the hotel lounge, where a bartender recognized her from fugitive flyers plastered around the area. The bartender alerted law enforcement, leading to Scarpa’s arrest the following day in 1988. Contrary to rumors, Scarpa insists his capture wasn’t orchestrated by his father, but rather was a direct result of this unexpected tip-off. This candid account sheds light on the dangers and challenges of living as a fugitive on the run.
