Caught none the worse for wear, 'cept maybe some lint

ROCHESTER - They might have got away clean for a while, but in the end they were caught high and dry.

At least that's what happened to Rochester's Most Wanted of The Week Vanessa Spear, who was found shortly after she was so named inside a dryer at a residence on Manatee Drive.

"Most Wanted Mondays" is featured on the city's Facebook page every week, but this could have been a record for a timely capture.

After about two hours up on the Web, Spear, 25, was found and arrested thanks to a tip from the public.

She was charged as a fugitive from justice out of Maine as well as criminal trespass, willful concealment, three counts of burglary and stealing drugs, police say.

Spear was taken to Strafford County House of Corrections pending arraignment.
