I'll go with your theory because I haven't hear a better one.

And Lonesome, just love your freeper page! The only disagreement would be that the Minnesota liberal is closer to the Massachussets variety than the midwest version.

I'm glad, but not surprised, that they caught him. This fits into the reasons cops take action.

Why police act:

1. The victim is a cop or family member
2. Publicity
3. Possibility of getting some poontang
4. Possibility of $ (fines or forfeitures)
5. Possibility of kicking someone’s butt
6. The victim is famous
7. Politics

Just a wild guess, but I bet those cuffs were racheted pretty damn tight.
