VIDEO: Eric Frein lookalike gets car
A crodfunding page helped raise enough money for a new car.

The man who was frequently mistaken for alleged cop killer Eric Frein got quite a consolation for his inconvenience.

James Tully, who resembles Frein, was stopped and questioned regularly as he walked to work during the manhunt.

After learning Tully didn't have a car, a mutual friend launched a crowdfunding page, called "Help James Get to Work Safe".

On Wednesday, Tully accepted the proceeds - $24,000 - and used it to buy a car.
