MEXICO CITY - Mexican authorities have detained and begun deportation proceedings against an Arizona man formerly on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, a U.S. official said Thursday.
Gary Edward Lasher, 28, was arrested Wednesday in the Caribbean resort city of Playa del Carmen, said the official, who was not authorized to speak on the record.
Lasher is wanted in Oxnard, Calif., for allegedly beating his mother-in-law unconscious and placing her in his car trunk before she was able to escape. He has been charged with kidnapping, kidnapping for ransom, and false imprisonment with violence in a California state arrest warrant.
Lasher also is wanted in Yavapai County, Arizona, on charges of child molestation, child pornography and sexual assault to a spouse. Arizona police said they had recovered 9,000 images of child pornography on Lasher's computer.
Lasher allegedly sexually assaulted a 9-year-old girl, and is also alleged to have raped and sodomized his wife, occasionally beating her into unconsciousness. The assaults allegedly were videotaped, according to information on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Web site.
Details of Lasher's capture were not immediately available.
I heard about this on the radio today. Too bad he was brought back instead of put in prison in Mexicao.
While I rarely agree with Oprah, this is one topic she is bringing up to the front for everyone- Libs and Independents, et al. These creeps need to be put into jail and never let out under any circumstances. I would prefer the death penalty, but I am sure it will never happen in my lifetime.
