FBI Arrests Reputed Mob Enforcer

CBS TV Chicago reports:
A reputed mob enforcer who had been the focus of a nationwide manhunt since April when federal prosecutors unsealed racketeering-murder charges against the alleged top echelon of the Chicago underworld was arrested Friday in Kentucky, the FBI announced.

Frank "The German" Schweihs, 75, was captured without incident by the FBI outside his apartment in Berea, Ky., a rugged, hilly area 40 miles south of Lexington.
