Fugitive fundraiser captured in Colorado {Hillary's Hsu }

SAN FRANCISCO -- Fugitive political fundraiser Norman Hsu, who skipped out on San Mateo County authorities this week rather than face sentencing in a fraud scheme, was apprehended tonight by federal and local lawmen in Grand Junction, Colo.

Authorities said Hsu was taken into custody at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction at 7 p.m. local time. He had been on the lam for almost two days after failing to appear in a Redwood City courtroom Wednesday to surrender his passport.

Hsu's attorney told state prosecutors that he had been on a charter flight that arrived at Oakland International Airport at about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday and then dropped out of sight, said Gareth Lacy, a spokesman for the state Attorney General's office.

Hsu's disappearing act seemed to be a reprise of a move he pulled in 1992, when he failed to show up for sentencing in the same grand theft case. Hsu was facing up to three years in state prison, a $10,000 fine and restitution payments after pleading no contest in 1992 to a single count of grand theft in what prosecutors described as a $1 million fraud scheme.

But while free on bail after his plea, Hsu dropped from sight for 15 years, apparently spending time in Hong Kong, the Philippines and Taiwan, only to emerge in recent years as a seemingly wealthy New York resident who donated generously in Democratic political campaigns, regularly attended fundraisers and was photographed with party leaders.

A week ago, Hsu, 56, surrendered to San Mateo County sheriff's deputies in Redwood City after press accounts linked him to the earlier grand theft case. He spent a few hours in county jail before posting $2 million bail and agreeing to surrender his passport.

The article doesn’t elaborate upon that does it. Seems strange he’d be caught at a hospital, but no mention as to why there. Must be a reason I assume.

Drudge goes to bed early and sleeps in on the weekends.

Drudge is getting on it now. He’s got a Hsu graphic up with “MYSTERY AROUND DEM FUNDRAISER HSU INTENSIFIES... DEVELOPING...” on the right side of his page.

[Balata]

LOL! Here’s the quote from the judge that sentenced him to hang.

“There use to be seven democrats here in Hinsdale county, but you… you voracious man eating son of a bitch, you et five of them.”

It’s a great local story.

[RatsDawg]

Yeah, it has said that most of the day. Thats why I am supprised he hasn’t updated.

[batter]

Even during a week day, I think FReepers tend to beat Drudge to the punch.

[Disambiguator]

Hsu pling.

Sing,
Sing a song,
Make it simple,
To last the whole night looooong!!!

[batter]

Oops. I guess I needed to clear my cache or something, I didn’t see the graphic and text until I logged into a different computer. Warriormom is right, Drudge is sawing logs right now.

[boop]

"Wonder if they will let him make bail this time.."

Sad, but nothing would surprise me. He's already skipped bail twice. The republicans need to open a HUGE investigation into this, NOW!

[batter]

Here's a reaction on HotAir:

Do you think Berger could smuggle him out of jail in his pants?

LOL! I can just see the prison memo: Guards are to bar entry of any persons wearing exceptionally baggy pants and/or large socks.

[Christian4Bush]

Put him in solitary so he doesn’t have his neck slit by a prison operative.

Yeah...Suicide by Clinton

[cardinal4]

Well, well, well. Put him in front of a Grand Jury, and dangle his freedom in front of him. The Marshals will have to protect him though, Hsu is number one on Hillary’s whack list..

[Diver Dave]

Right now, Hillary is likely pulling in all her chits to get this guy an immediate pardon.

Paging Ahnold. Pick up the white courtesy phone.

Hey, Norman

What Hsu gonna do?
What Hsu gonna do
When they come for you?
Bad Boy Bad Boy

[txhurl]

Ha! Exactly! The last place you’d expect to find Her Universal Health care Thighness: in a hospital!

[katykelly]

He was on the Amtrack when he got sick. They stopped here and took him to St. Marys. He’s in fair condition.

And, of course, Bernard L.
