He traveled to Panama City, Florida, where he started a new life as a robber under the alias Franky Lee Bass. “Bass” was soon arrested after a series of robberies, but police failed to immediately identify him as Mallos.

He fled to an apartment and forced the renter to drive him to a nearby town. People in the town reported a suspicious person, and Mallos was apprehended at a bar.
