Thanks... And ..""Back on "The Road" Again"" :) with McSame and Palin if they somehow get in.. From the "Life imitates Art" department, Cormac McCarthy wrote "No Country for Old Men" and life seems to have imitated that story with this recent Nevada case... <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Buzz up! RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — The grandfather of a kidnapped 6-year-old Nevada boy was arrested late Friday in Southern California after investigators said they believed the abduction may be linked to the man’s drug dealings with Mexican nationals. Clemons Fred Tinnemeyer was arrested in the city of Riverside by a fugitive task force, FBI spokesman Joseph Dickey said. Tinnemeyer was being held on a federal material witness warrant at the Central Detention Center in the city of San Bernardino. “There is no information being provided at this time with regard to the boy’s well-being, nor the whereabouts of the kidnappers,” Dickey said in a statement. Las Vegas police were planning to hold an afternoon news conference on the case. The boy, Cole Puffinburger, was abducted from a Las Vegas home Wednesday morning by three men posing as police officers. Police said they believe the men were Mexican drug dealers and that the kidnapping at gunpoint was a “message” to Tinnemeyer. Tinnemeyer, 51, may have stolen millions of dollars from the Mexican nationals, said Officer Cris Johnson, a Las Vegas police spokesman. Johnson declined to say what role Tinnemeyer played in the drug operation or whether the kidnappers were seeking a ransom. Police believe methamphetamine was involved, Johnson said. A nationwide Amber Alert remained in effect after two men tied up Cole’s mother and her boyfriend at their house Wednesday and abducted Cole. Las Vegas police Capt. Vincent Cannito said a third man was believed to be involved and that police had “several” other persons of interest in the case, but no suspects in the abduction. Authorities also were investigating whether other family members had ties to the drug operation, Johnson said. “Money is a huge factor, obviously. Drugs are a huge factor,” Johnson said. “The only innocent person involved in this entire operation is the boy.” The FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Drug Enforcement Administration are investigating. rgj.com <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CM also wrote "The Road" so will life imitate that?.. :( Pretty depressing to think about but maybe he is prophet, just maybe he is..
