At this point, that is difficult to discern because if the man is correctly identified as the check kiting, fraud convicted, parole violating ex-felon, then it would be expected for them to move in and arrest him on a probable parole violation.
There's also an otherwise unstated possibility that with his life, his neighbors' lives and all of his relatives' lives at great risk right now and well into the future, I doubt he nor his attorneys would be concerned about what is said to the press. It's likely that the attorneys who were with him at his residence all day today might have advised him and actually been hoping for this simply for his safety.
Whether he was taken in for parole violation or not, protective custody or at least squiring him out of his current residential area would seem to be of the highest priority. When the terrorists want to kill, they don't aim well and innocents are as likely to be put in their cross-hairs as anyone else.
