The fugitive was found with narcotics on him, but the .45 caliber pistol, from a truck that Kahler stole, was not on him. A magistrate judge remanded Kahler to the Leon County Sheriff's office.

33-year old Kevin Webb is still at large, and the Leon County Sheriff's office has increased the cash reward to $3500 for his capture.
