Hsu Captured! (Drugged?) Hat tip to Hot Air for this development: suitablyflip.blogs.com Fugitive political fundraiser Norman Hsu, who skipped out on San Mateo County authorities this week rather than face sentencing in a fraud scheme, was apprehended tonight by federal and local lawmen in Grand Junction, Colo. Authorities said Hsu was taken into custody at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction at 7 p.m. local time. He had been on the lam for almost two days after failing to appear in a Redwood City courtroom Wednesday to surrender his passport. Looks like I was wrong about us never hearing from Hsu again. Instead, he'll be forced to return to California, face the judge, post bail, and light out again. Allah's tracking updates, as is Michelle. Two questions: 1) Why in the world is the FBI saying that the "federal charge of unlawful flight will be dropped after Hsu is handed over to California officials"? 2) Was Hsu injured before being apprehended (given that he was found in a hospital)? If so, how and by whom? The same Asian gang leaders who were arrested for kidnpping Hsu seventeen years ago? Dog the Bounty Hunter? Whoever may or may not have snuffed out Vince Foster? (Okay, so that's six questions.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- suitablyflip.blogs.com Update: I can empathize. Amtrak is a miserable means of transit. (Also via Hot Air) Hsu was traveling on an Amtrak train when he became ill. Grand Junction paramedics were summoned to the Amtrak station near downtown about 11 a.m. Thursday to treat a patient, Battalion Chief Robert Ferguson said. Update: Hsu was "delirious" upon arrival at the hospital? Was he drugged? Who gets spontaneously sick enough to require removal from a train and hospitalization, right when staging an exciting getaway? Maybe he was hopped on something he took himself. Or maybe he just made the mistake of visiting the dining car. Either way, I'd put money on a tox screen not coming back clean
