Fugitive U.S. environmental radical arrested in Victoria for shoplifting

With reporting by Hudson Mack

VICTORIA (CP-AP) - A fugitive U.S. radical environmentalist, charged with setting fire to logging and cement trucks in 2001, has been arrested in Victoria.

Michael Scarpitti was arrested Saturday for allegedly trying to shoplift some bolt-cutters, said Robert Jordan, the FBI's special agent in charge in Portland, Ore.

...

Scarpitti was struggling with security at a Canadian Tire store Saturday when police arrived.

"Upon taking him back to police headquarters it would appear he had no identification on him and refused to co-operate with the police in regard to identifying himself," Const. Rick Anthony of the Victoria police told reporters Monday.

...

He appeared in Victoria provincial court Monday and was being held on an immigration warrant.

Jordan said the FBI did not know how long Scarpitti has been in Canada and the agency is working with Canadian authorities on Scarpitti's extradition to Oregon.

Unfortunately, this will never make the mainstream media, unless this guy killed a few abortion providers or black guys along the way.

I remember that. It was one of the funniest threads I ever saw on FR. One person asked "How is the stump?"
