    WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (KCCI) -- Newly released bodycam footage reveals the arrest of a fugitive who had been on the run for 30 years by the West Des Moines Police.

KCCI first brought you this story earlier this month. Officers stopped George Hartleroad on June 26 for not having a rear reflector on his bicycle. Hartleroad is heard giving the officers a fake name and a fake social security number.

Hartleroad claimed to have been living in Iowa for two decades. The police continued to question him for 30 minutes, growing suspicious of his evasive responses.

"Alright brother, time to be honest with me, OK? So the info you give me comes back to a dead guy. Gregory Stallins is dead," an officer is heard questioning Hartleroad in the video.

Hartleroad is heard doubling down on the fake identity when the officer questions him again.

"You're Gregory, you're just not dead?" the officer asks.

"I'm not dead," Hartleroad responds.

Eventually, Hartleroad revealed his real identity. The police discovered that he is a convicted rapist who had been wanted out of Wisconsin since 1995. Hartleroad was then taken into custody.
