Edward Nathan Jr. just couldn't hold it in.
That cost him his freedom.
Nathan, now 50, escaped from a Tampa work release center in 1983. After eluding capture for nearly three decades, authorities said, he was arrested Friday on a public urination charge in Fulton County, Ga.
Nathan was living under the name Claude Brooks, but fingerprints revealed his true identity as a fugitive, the Florida Department of Corrections said.
Nathan was serving a five-year sentence for robbery with a deadly weapon in a Duval County case when he escaped from the Tampa Community Correctional Center on Aug. 27, 1983.
Authorities are arranging for Nathan to be returned to Florida.
