Jonathan Roth Nabbed in Ohio

Son of Missing Swimmer returned to New York.

Jonathan Roth has been located and will appear in court Friday on bail jumping charges, prosecutors said.

Roth, the Massapequa man who had admitted to helping his father Raymond Roth fake his death at Jones Beach, was picked up in Ohio Thursday night by bail bondsman, a spokesman for District Attorney Kathleen Rice said.

A warrant had been issued for his arrest after he missed his sentencing last week on insurance fraud Friday.

His bail was also revoked.

In July 2012 Roth told police he had seen his father disappear in the waters off Jones Beach.

Raymond Roth turned up alive a few days later.
