"I'm in Flint."

It was Nathaniel Osbourne, the New Jersey man with the soft Jamaican accent Jenkins met during the summer at a truck driving school in Indianapolis. The man who carried a Bible with him at all times, who told Jenkins that, like her, he valued a close relationship with God, told her he wanted to marry her. Without warning, he had come to Flint in search of a wife, steady work and a fresh start, she recalled Sunday.

During the 11-minute hearing Sunday, the slight, soft-spoken man said he needed a court-appointed attorney because he is broke. He said he owes $1,000 to C1 Driver Solutions, the Indianapolis truck driving school, and he pays $300 a month in child support for a child in Massachusetts. According to the court hearing, he was arrested May 30 on a domestic violence charge in New Jersey. He had driver's licenses from New York, New Jersey and Indiana.

It sounds like he was less a "man of God" and more like a leech who needed a place to crash.

Anybody know where in Massachusetts?? his child support is going??

Interesting, they described him at slight..remember the contruction worker who described a "slight" build as a driver?? who almost cut him off?? The construction worker was not the "lyin' witness".

Something "smells".

What's really in the Bible he always carries. Oops, too many James Bond movies!!

In Gardner. The mother is not IDed.

http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/national/snip10282002.htm

``I don't think he has any knowledge or involvement in the shootings,'' said federal defender Kenneth R. Sasse. The Jamaican native, a friend of Muhammad, has admitted owing about $1,000 in child support to the mother of his child in Gardner, U.S. Attorney Robert Haviland said.

Haviland said the child support issue was raised in a Flint court yesterday by a pretrial services officer, but said he is not aware of a warrant. Osbourne is not listed on the Massachusetts Department of Revenue's deadbeat-dad Web site, which lists parents who have owed $5,000 or more for at least six months.

a penniless drifter who bounced from one menial job to the next and whose interests ranged from religion to the reggae music of his home country…He said he owes $1,000 to C1 Driver Solutions, the Indianapolis truck driving school…He had driver's licenses from New York, New Jersey and Indiana

Uh, huh. The owner of the car lot where Osbourne and Muhammad bought the car, on Fox this AM, said he’s sold other cars to Osbourne, in the price range of $2500 - $3000. He speculated that Osbourne might have been doing some reselling to “immigrants.” He also said the reason Osbourne had to be co-owner is that you need insurance to buy a car in NJ (didn’t I read somewhere that the proof of car insurance was bogus?). Muhammad first told the dealer he was from Canada, then later said he was from Jamaica, and put on a phony Jamaican accent. Finally, he presented a Washington, DC license – which is interesting since reportedly, he didn’t present a driver’s license when registering the car. I wonder how many driver's licenses Muhammad had?

Vary likely!

and the FBI will get to the bottom of it.

Very doubtful!

So far they haven't gotten to the bottom of anything, and if the snipers themselves, other witnesses, and a truck driver had not done the job for them, the snipers would still be killing.

That was my thought also. A few months ago there was plenty of information that terrorists were attending truck driving schools as well as flying schools with the potential devestation of a truck loaded with explosives being the same as an airliner.
