American slang, largely dated, for a person fleeing from law enforcement or justice. Closely related to 'on the lam', the lamster is actively running, hiding, or evading arrest.

A lamster is old American slang for someone who's on the run from the law — a fugitive who's taken it on the lam. The word comes from the thieves' cant phrase on the lam, meaning to flee. It has a vintage, noir quality: hardboiled detectives and crime pulp writers would have used lamster naturally. Rarely heard today but still understood.
