They finally nailed him. An elderly Florida man dubbed the “Nail Bandit” was arrested Thursday morning after almost two years of purposefully damaging fire rescue vehicles by placing sharp objects beneath the tires, authorities said. John Allan Starnes, 72, was arrested while “[committing] the act in real-time” during a traffic stop following the months-long “Operation Nail Bandit” in Okeechobee County.
