"Fast" Eddie Maher's son speaks out exclusively to KSPR following the arrest of his dad, 20 years after the alleged crime spree began. February 08, 2012|Reporter: Lauren Matter, Photographer: Kuba Wuls | lmatter@kspr.com, kwuls@kspr.com 'Fast' Eddie Maher is currently in federal custody under immigration charges. Authorities believe in 1993 he stole $1.5 million during a bank robbery and fled. He was on the run until his arrest Wednesday morning in Ozark, MO. And now, Maher's son is speaking out only to KSPR News about his father's arrest. Lee King says it was one phone call from his mom that turned his life upside down. Not only did he find out his dad has allegedly been on the run for two decades, King found out he has a different last name, he's two years older than he thought and was born in the UK, a few years before this alleged crime spree started. "My dad is one of the nicest guys you'll meet, he's only ever done what's good for us," King says. King says the man he knows as his father wouldn't commit this crime.
