Update on story from yesterday:

Deputies question, clear gloved man

JACKSON -- A man who aroused suspicions Tuesday when he emerged from the woods near a popular trail wearing rubber gloves talked to law enforcement officials on Wednesday, and they said he had an explanation for everything.

Teton County Sheriff's Captain Jim Whalen said the man was pulled over at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday morning at the Jackson State Bank on Buffalo Way in Jackson. The man told deputies he wears gloves when using the popular Cache Creek because he does push-ups along the trail.

He was also seen carrying a Mountain Dew bottle containing a brown liquid, which the man said was iced tea.

"He was very cooperative," Whalen said. "He let the deputies search his car."

Deputies described the vehicle as being "very messy" and film canisters and plastic bags were searched. Nothing was found. (snip)

Deputies did, however, describe the man as "peculiar."

"Sometimes for a country like Nicaragua, remittances are far greater than the total exports that the countries have."

Out of $30 Billion in remittances there is a profit of 2.1 Billion to those wiring the moola. That's a hefty cash
cow... whose vested interest is not leaning into developing industry in Latin America
but very much into keeping the immigration gate open.
