'Most wanted' fugitive nabbed by N.J. police

THE NEW JERSEY State Police say they've arrested a Burlington County man on the state's "most wanted" list who has been on the run for more than two decades.

The agency's fugitive unit arrested James Wade Barclay in Pennsylvania on Saturday after a multiagency investigation.

Police say Barclay had been at large since his 1989 arrest in Cinnaminson, N.J., on charges he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old.

Barclay pleaded guilty to the charges but failed to appear for sentencing in September 1991, according to police.

Police learned in recent weeks that Barclay had allegedly been using the alias James C. Toryone and been working as a tractor-trailer driver.

He's been held in a Somerset County, Pa., jail on $5 million bail, awaiting extradition to New Jersey.

It's not clear whether he has an attorney.
