-Caveat Lector- Now this is more like the FBI I remember - too busy to worry with legitimate leads when there are "cults" to be tracked down and burned out of their homes.
http://www.thedailytimes.com/sited/story/html/71175 Driver questioned, `reeked of suspicion,' but FBI disinterested 2001-10-25 by Lance Coleman of the Daily Times Staff An Atlanta man of Middle Eastern descent was stopped and questioned after he almost hit a Blount County Sheriff's Office cruiser on Hall Road Tuesday night. What deputies found and how the man acted ``reeked of the odor of suspicion,'' Chief Deputy Tony Crisp said. Deputies searched his vehicle and found several valid driver licenses from Georgia and Tennessee, a Social Security card and receipts from several cash wire transfers to Pakistan and Indonesia. Alcoa police had questioned the man earlier in the day at Kroger in Alcoa when he made a $10,200 wire transfer to Pakistan, the report said. Deputy Angie Condee reported at 9:30 p.m., a black Toyota Celica driving erratically on Hall Road and slowly in the passing lane. When the vehicle jerked back into Condee's lane and almost struck the cruiser, Condee stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver, her report said. ``The deputy was behind him and he bowed up and stopped in the road. The vehicle behind the deputy almost hit her by having to make an abrupt stop, too,'' Crisp said. Deputy Steve Anderson arrived, then Condee asked and was given consent to search the man's vehicle. The deputies found several passports with different names and several wire transfer records with dates over the last year and funds sent to Pakistan and Indonesia. He had three different Georgia licenses -- one temporary, one permanent and one for identification only -- one Tennessee driver's license (for I.D. only) and a Social Security card with a different name. The Social Security number came back not on file. The 36-year-old man said he was driving his brother's vehicle and told deputies he was in town to work at an Alcoa restaurant, officials said. Crisp said deputies didn't have any idea why the man drove four hours to work at an Alcoa restaurant, ``and he couldn't articulate why he was doing that, either.'' The money transferred Tuesday from the Alcoa Kroger was four different transfers, three for $3,000 and one for $1,000, Crisp said. The man denied making the transfers, even though his vehicle tag number matched the tag number of the man who made the Alcoa Kroger cash transfers, Crisp said. Sheriff James Berrong, Capt. Jim Long and Sgt. Tim Wilson came to the scene of Condee's traffic stop. Federal Bureau of Investigation officials were contacted, but never responded. Crisp said the man acted suspiciously. ``He never did ask why we stopped him. He could speak English pretty fluently, but when he felt uncomfortable answering, he would indicate he couldn't speak very good English,'' Crisp said. Crisp said the man had records of monthly money transfers to Indonesia from 1999. The man followed deputies to the Blount County Jail where he was photographed, fingerprinted and released as part of the investigation for criminal impersonation due to information given about the wire transfers, the report said. -- Best wishes Abuse of any one generally show that he has marked traits of character.
