  The man was on a Greyhound bus traveling through Altoona on Monday morning, sources said, when he got off and walked into a McDonald’s where a witness recognized him from the images of the suspect circulated by police.

  The McDonald’s employee reported him, and “because of that, we believe we have a strong person of interest,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said at a news conference Monday.

    Isn’t a report of a random McDick’s employee just hearsay? Dude should just plead the fifth and then they either charge him or don’t.

      A tip like this is all that’s necessary for a cop to have probable cause to search and detain you.

      To detain a suspect in the US they need reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime that person has committed. Like it or not, a tip followed by items in his possession checks that box.
