Ex-WJAC-TV weatherman arrested

Former WJAC-TV (6) meteorologist Jay Patrick has been arrested in the Ukraine after four years on the lam.

According to the Tribune-Democrat, Patrick — whose real name is James Patrick Holcomb — was arrested in the capital, Kiev, on Wednesday and will be extradited back to Cambria County to face charges.

Holcomb, 43, was arrested in 2004 and pleaded no contest to charges he sexually assaulted a young girl. He fled while on house arrest and was declared a fugitive.

A deputy U.S. marshal in Johnstown told the newspaper Holcomb apparently had been living under an assumed name. Marshals had also chased leads elsewhere in Europe and Asia.
