Hay-Chapman, a homeless man, and three other people will share $150,000 in reward money, with $100,000 going to Hay-Chapman. The others will split $50,000.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A homeless man from San Francisco who pointed police toward two Orange County inmates who had escaped from jail will get the lion’s share of a $150,000 reward set up for their successful capture, the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday.

The Orange County Board of Supervisors awarded Matthew Hay-Chapman $100,000, said Jean Pasco, a county spokeswoman.

Two Target employees and a man whose van was stolen by the escapees will split the remaining $50,000.

Hossein Nayeri, Jonathan Tieu and Bac Duong escaped from Central Men’s Jail in Santa Ana on Jan. 22 and were the subject of a statewide manhunt for days.
