CANADENSIS, Pa. (CBS) – James Tully, the man often mistaken for police barracks shooting suspect Eric Frein, is supposedly getting a welcome gift on Wednesday.
Tully, 39, reportedly walks five miles a day each way to his job at a metal manufacturing company because he doesn’t own a car.

After media reports that Tully had been stopped and questioned more than 20 times by authorities during the manhunt, someone started a crowdfunding page called Help James Get to Work Safe in an effort to buy him a vehicle.
On Wednesday, Tully is scheduled to receive that car.
