A wanted fugitive with North Okanagan ties has been arrested a considerable distance away from the area. Gerald Richard McLean, 41, wanted on a Canada-wide warrant after failing to return to a halfway house in Vancouver, was found Sunday hiding at a bush camp near the Cherryville-sized community of Dome Creek, about mid-way between Prince George and McBride on the Fraser River. See Wednesday's Morning Star for more details. “He was arrested late Sunday afternoon,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “We have no idea why he was in that part of the world.” The Vancouver Police Department advised the public last week that McLean, a man with sex charge convictions, and with ties to the Okanagan and Shuswap, was at large. Police thought he may be headed to the North Okanagan as he has connections to Enderby.
