Suspect held in Pa. jail after fleeing to Israel

HARRISBURG - A man wanted for questioning in a fire that damaged a judge's car was in Dauphin County jail yesterday after 20 months as a fugitive in Israel, authorities said. Bail for Micky Mayon of Steelton, Pa., was set at $2 million on charges of flight to avoid apprehension, illegal possession of firearms, and failure to appear in court, Steelton police said. Mayon, who is in his early 30s, was apprehended in a Tel Aviv rooming house last week by Israeli immigration officials. Steelton police want to question Mayon about the June 2007 torching of a car at the home of a Harrisburg judge who had ordered him to stand trial on charges stemming from a disturbance two months earlier. - AP
