Update:More Details in Former Weapons Inspector's Arrest

More details are emerging on the arrest of former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter. The Delmar resident was arrested by Colonie police in June of 2001 on a misdemeanor charge. And Channel 6 News has learned that Ritter had been issued a warning after being caught by police once before.

Colonie police will not confirm any of this, but Channel 6 News learned that Ritter was caught in a sex sting early in 2001. He was issued a warning then, but eventually arrested for the same thing three months later. Ritter, who has made national headlines for speaking out against going to war with Iraq is keeping silent on this issue. He has been unavailable for comment since details of his arrest were made public.

In June of 2001, Ritter was accused of engaging in a sexual discussion, on the Internet with a person who he thought, was a 14 year old girl. It was actually an undercover investigator who agreed to meet with Ritter. When Ritter arrived at the location, expecting to meet the girl, police warned him that he had been set up.

Three months later Ritter allegedly fell into the same trap, only this time he was arrested. The misdemeanor charge relating to child endangerment was eventually disposed of and sealed. Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser has since lost her job over the incident. Albany County DA Paul Clyne fired Preiser on Friday because he says she never informed him that the case against Ritter even existed. Prieser would not comment and Ritter has also been unavailable for comment.

The case against Ritter was eventually sealed, preventing everyone from disclosing details about the case. In fact, Ritter can deny it ever happened since sealed cases essentially mean, it never happened.

CNN tells Channel 6 News, Ritter is on his way to Baghdad, but will be in New York City tomorrow to shoot an anti war message.

What would Mohammed do?

great find..since he was already warned once, IMO the sealing of records and dropped charges waa not called for, he should have been prosecuted. No wonder the DA was upset. Someone needs to interview the ADA about her failure to notify her boss. I would never hire her, I wonder where she is working now?

He's on his way to a Baghdad Burger King to meet a little girl.

Registered, how about a graphic of his meeting at the Baghdad Burger King?

Thanks for the ping! There were so many stories floating around I couldn't remember which is which! This is great -- all together in one place if the mainstream media would care to take a look!

[PhiKapMom]

Mega thanks for putting all these together! Glad to bump this thread!

Now if we knew everyone that was blackmailing Ritter -- bet it was more than just Iraq!

Bumper sticker on Scotty's car reads

MAKE LOVE NOT WAR


a real piece monger....

[justa-hairyape]

Why make him bigger than he is?

Yes, one would think that he apparently is not that big at all, considering the type of women he preferred. However, considering the circumstances, he should probably be arrested and questioned about the Anthrax Attacks within the US. Just a little conjecture on my part, but hey, I wear my tinfoil hat with pride.

LOL!

Fox news is reporting that Ritter is claiming this arrest was a DIFFERENT William Ritter. Anyone know anything about this?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Keeping up with Scott Ritter stories is a lofty task. That ole boy seems to have a lot of extracurricular activities these days.

Fox news snooze is reporting....

[rolling_stone]

ritter apparently told a local rag that the other day before everything hit the fan no doubt it is him IMO.

Slick left in January and this arrest happened in June.

When did Hillary take office in NY?

[hole_n_one]

Wonderfully articulated!

[justa-hairyape]

Wow. The girls age is dropping faster then CNN's viewership ratings.
