The Feds have found Hsu in CO.....Democratic Fund-Raiser Hsu Is Arrested in Colorado

Disgraced Democratic fund-raiser Norman Hsu was arrested in Colorado late Thursday after a judge issued an arrest warrant when he failed to show up for a court appearance related to a felony theft conviction.

FBI agents took Mr. Hsu into custody at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., said FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler.

Earlier Thursday, spokesmen for Mr. Hsu and the California Attorney General's Office said they had no clue about his whereabouts. His lawyers declined to comment.

A California judge issued a bench warrant for Mr. Hsu's arrest Wednesday after he failed to show up for a hearing in San Mateo County Superior Court on 1991 grand-theft charges. Mr. Hsu had failed to appear for a 1992 sentencing hearing after pleading no contest in that case. The case was dormant until last week, when The Wall Street Journal and others wrote about Mr. Hsu's fund-raising activities. After state authorities said they still wanted to pursue the case, Mr. Hsu turned himself in last Friday and was released on $2 million bail. He was to appear in court this week to surrender his passport and discuss having his bail reduced.
