Timing and suspects are awfully suspicious!

What is all that white stuff, global warmers?

One suspect, identified by Lexington police as Benjamin Michaud, 32, was arrested soon afterward, police said. He was charged with armed robbery and an outstanding parole violation. Police said he was homeless. The second suspect, whose name was not released, eluded a large group of law enforcement personnel, some using police helicopters.
Just wondering why the name wasn't released, and I never like the suspicions or speculations. He escaped?
Over the next several hours, police searched at least two houses in Lexington while trying to track down the second suspect. Homes on Burlington Street and Ledgelawn Avenue were searched by State Police, including special weapons troopers....
Odd how this happens JUST as the ARSENAL PROGRAM was REACTIVATED, huh?
A LITTLE TOO COINCIDENTAL for my tastes!!
The heavy police presence on foot, in cruisers, in specialized law enforcement vehicles and trucks, with K9s, and in helicopters came as a surprise to residents like David Williams, who lives on Burlington Street. “I’ve never seen anything like this around here,’’ said Williams, 60, who lives a few doors away from one of the homes that police searched. Pointing skyward to the circling helicopters, he said: “Now there’s something you don’t see every day.’’
No, and if you said you did they would call for the tin foil hats!
Yes, the TYRANNY ALWAYS is a "surprise" when you RUN INTO IT!
Otherwise, you think EVERYTHING is JUST FINE!
The search was ongoing for the second suspect, who was believed to still be armed.
--more--"So they only got ONE of their men?
I stand corrected, readers!

Those circumstances never make it into this report.
The arrest brings to an end one of the state’s most notorious fugitive cases in recent time. It was noteworthy not only because of Brown’s alleged criminal history but also the way he escaped....
The escape made regional headlines and was featured on “America’s Most Wanted.’’
Wow, WE "MADE" the BIG-TIME, Massachusetts -- for the WRONG THINGS AGAIN!!!
**************************
The escape became a publicity nightmare for Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone’s office and the state Department of Correction....
I just thank God he didn't hurt anyone (as far as we know).
And it was the PUBLIC that SOLVED the case?
