An Idaho inmate who led police on a two-day manhunt was described by a former prosecutor as a “bright individual” who came out of his first prison sentence with neo-Nazi tattoos on his face and body. “I was actually disappointed that he had fallen into that group, but I wasn’t shocked,” said Stan Holloway, a former prosecuting attorney in Twin Falls, Idaho, who handled two cases involving Skylar Meade, 31. “Prison can change a guy.
Holloway, who prosecuted Meade in the case, first met him in 2010, when Meade was charged with grand theft and fraud. Meade was sentenced to three to five years in prison, Holloway said. At the time, Meade appeared to be “a bright individual” who remained mostly quiet and respectful during court hearings, Holloway said. So when Meade appeared before him again in 2016, he was taken aback by Meade’s white supremacist tattoos.
