A fugitive after being sentenced to death in Belgium 22 years ago (since commuted to life in prison, after the abolition of the death penalty), Jean-Claude Demey was finally caught:

But he is now back behind bars after he and two other men took a wrong turning while driving through Reims, in eastern France, on Monday.
They tried to avoid roadworks caused by the construction of a new tram system, and found themselves blocked in the car park of the city's main police station.
Police said they spotted the van reversing towards the exit, and arrested three men 'all in a state of inebriation'.
