Democratic donor Hsu caught in Colorado

The L.A. Times reports:

Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, the patron to would-be presidents who found himself staring at the prospect of imprisonment and federal investigation, was arrested in Colorado on Thursday.

Hsu, 56, was on an eastbound Amtrak train about noon when he fell ill, and Amtrak personnel took him to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., a hospital spokesman said.


There, he was arrested by the FBI a few hours later on a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He was expected to appear before a federal magistrate-judge as early as this morning, pending his likely extradition back to California.

"He has to be brought before a federal magistrate judge as quickly as practicable," FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler said.
