"I'm tired of running."
That's what police said Chester "Chet" Arthur Stiles, 37, told them after the fugitive wanted for the videotaped molestation of a 3-year-old girl said after he was pulled over during a traffic stop in Henderson, Nev.
Stiles was pulled over late last night for not having a license plate and admitted his identity after police said his license looked suspicious.
Stiles had warrants out for his arrest for 21 felony charges in connection with the acts shown on the videotape.

20-year-old Tyler Peterson of Crandon, Wis., might have been a sheriff deputy, but that didn't stop him from going on a killing rampage while off duty.
Peterson fired 30 rounds of ammunition into a home where friends had gathered, investigators said today. Of course, it looks like a romantic relationship had something to do with the shooting spree, which killed six (and Peterson, after the cops arrived).
Don't law enforcement agencies screen for likelihood of flying off the handle? "We had no idea, obviously, that anything like this would ever occur," Police Chief John Dennee said.

Sandra Avila Beltran spent more than a decade climbing up the ranks of Mexico's male-dominated drug trade, seducing several notorious kingpins along the way and uniting Colombian and Mexican gangs. She's been dubbed the "Queen of the Pacific" for her efforts and a "narcocorrido" folk ballad about drug traffickers lauds her as "a top lady who is a key part of the business."
Her arrest last week and possible extradition to the U.S. has enthralled Mexico, where her story is being followed more closely than a melodramatic telenovela.

There's a battle brewing between the National Rifle Association and United Nations members pushing for an unprecedented treaty regulating the arms trade worldwide.
Ex-congressman Bob Barr, a leading NRA voice on the subject, claims international rules at some point will encroach upon domestic laws and policies and could limit gun ownership within nations.
Pro-treaty advocacy groups claim the international controls would target weapons deals that contribute to human rights violations and worsen oppression.
The United States -- by far the world's biggest weapons dealer, with almost $13 billion in arms export agreements in 2005 - cast the lone vote in December against starting the treaty process. It has not filed a requested report to the United Nations with its views on a treaty.
WHAT'S NEXT: U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is expected this month to name an experts' group from two dozen nations to review the submissions of 98 governments and report back to the General Assembly in the fall of 2008 on what kind of arms trade treaty might be feasible. General Assembly adoption of a pact wouldn't be expected before 2010.

A man who faced a prison term for trying to extort more than $1 million from Tom Cruise for the actor's stolen wedding photos was found dead in his home and apparently committed suicide, officials said.
David Hans Schmidt, 47, agreed to plead guilty and was under house arrest at the time of his death.
Schmidt was arrested in July after he repeatedly made contact with Cruise representatives and threatened to release wedding photos if he didn't receive between $1.2 and $1.3 million.

It's up to a jury now to decide whether Isiah Thomas subjected a vice president at Madison Square Garden to a hostile work environment by using vulgar language and making unwanted sexual advances toward her.
The former Detroit Pistons star and current New York Knicks coach is defending the $10 million sexual harassment lawsuit, saying that he always treated Anucha Browne Sanders with respect, and that she made his job more difficult and got in his way by trying to undermine his authority before she was fired in January 2006.
On their first full day of deliberations, the jury asked for hundreds of pages of testimony and documents, including a copy of MSG's organization chart, which wasn't given to them because it wasn't presented as evidence at trial. The panel took a weekend break this evening and returns to U.S. District Court in Manhattan to resume its work on Monday.

Operation Raw Deal nabbed 120 people in a steroids ring.
The Drug Enforcement Administration agency says they spent 18 months investigating illicit steroid labs around the world and had help from nine countries and several U.S. agencies in cracking the case. AP Writer Pete Yost reports 56 labs in the United States were seized for manufacturing anabolic steroids and human growth hormone. About 11.4 million doses of steroids were seized and over 500 pounds of raw powder for steroids that originated in China.
Countries participating in the investigation were: China Mexico, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and Thailand.
The DEA scored another big bust Thursday in New Jersey, seizing more than 40,000 doses of anabolic steroids from a central New Jersey home.
No professional athletes names haven been associated with the operation. That's unlike the pharmacy based in Orlando, Fla., that's been under investigation. Several athletes' names have been found on documents.

It happened more than once, Iraq's government says.
The country's Interior Ministry is now investigating Blackwater USA guards in connection with seven shootings stretching back to Feb. 4, with a a ministry spokesman saying the company "has a criminal record."
The probe began over a recent shooting in which 11 people were killed, and judges are now reviewing evidence in that case. The catch: U.S. contractors are immune from Iraq laws under a rule imposed by Paul Bremer early in reconstruction.
The spokesman -- Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf -- says other security companies have "committed violations" in Iraq but all "apologized for these violations, met the families of the victims and compensated them, something Blackwater hasn't done."
The full story, and the latest news from elsewhere in Iraq, is in Bushra Juhi's AP report.

Alberto Fujimori is back in the nation he once ruled, and as you can see by the photo above, not by his own accord.
Chile's Supreme Court authorized his extradition on corruption and human rights charges including the death squad killings of 25 people, and he was flown from Peru to his home to face house arrest.
He says his conscience is clear: "This does not mean that I've been tried, much less convicted ... I hope that in Peru there exists the due process to clarify the accusations against me."

Maybe he's trying to write a sequel: "If I Did It: Armed Robbery."
O.J. Simpson isn't trying too hard to prove the jury was right to acquit him in his murder trial. First there's the book "If I Did It," a "hypothetical" explanation for the killing of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, and now there's this -- charges connected with armed robbery.

There's a skivvies mystery unfolding at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp where some 340 men are being held on suspicion of terrorism or links to al-Qaida and the Taliban.
AP reporter Ben Fox reports in this story that two prisoners were found sporting unauthorized underwear. Both prisoners were caught wearing Under Armour briefs and one also had on a Speedo bathing suit, according to a Defense Department letter obtained today by The Associated Press.
Army Lt. Col. Ed Bush, a spokesman for the prison camp, said the appearance of contraband raises concerns that more harmful contraband could be smuggled into Gitmo.
"There is no room for error when working in a dangerous environment, and constant vigilance is of the utmost importance," Bush said.

O.J. Simpson, the former Southern Cal and professional football star, is once again in the media spotlight. Simpson was named as a suspect today by Las Vegas police investigating an armed robbery involving Simpson memorabilia.
Simpson has been a tabloid staple since his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman were killed in 1994. He was acquitted of murder charges, but a jury later held him liable for the killings in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Simpson told The AP that only went into a casino hotel room to retrieve memorabilia that he felt was stolen from him. Police are investigating it as an armed robbery and named the ex-football star as a suspect in yet another surprising chapter to his legal saga. Simpson told AP special correspondent Linda Deutsch that no guns were involved and he only went to the room at the Palace Station casino to retrieve stolen mementos that included his Hall of Fame certificate and a picture of the running back with J. Edgar Hoover.
"It's stolen stuff that's mine. Nobody was roughed up," Simpson told The AP.

One of the world's most wanted drug traffickers hid in bushes in his underwear today as elite commandos from the Colombian army raided a small farm before dawn to nab him.
Diego Montoya, better known as "Don Diego," is on the FBI's most-wanted list along with Osama bin Laden and has a $5 million bounty on his head. Montoya, shown above, allegedly leads the violent Norte del Valle drug cartel and Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos told reporters today that Montoya was responsible for 1,500 killings in his career.
Montoya, who put up no resistance when the army finally cornered him, will undergo lengthy questioning before being extradited to the United States.
Montoya and another leader of their cartel exported more than 1.2 million pounds of cocaine worth more than $10 billion over 14 years, according to a U.S. indictment unsealed in 2004. Colombia is the source of 90 percent of the cocaine entering the United States.
ULTRA VIOLENT: Norte del Valle rose in the mid-1990s to fill the vacuum left by the once dominant Medellin and Cali gangs. Norte del Valle has wielded unrestrained violence at the slightest provocation and has gone unmercilessly for the jugular when threatened. Victor Patino, one high-ranking Norte del Valle cartel member who decided to testify in the U.S., saw at least 35 family members and friends slaughtered in retaliation for his betrayal.

Eleven public officials in towns across New Jersey were arrested today by FBI agents as part of a sweeping corruption probe that led to the arrest of two state lawmakers, three city councilmen and several school board members in Pleasantville, where the scandal started.
"It's just a horrible day in Pleasantville," said John Deserable, a monitor sent by the state Department of Education to oversee the district's finances. "It's another black eye to the district that we don't need. The children deserve better than this."
Among those arrested was Passaic Mayor Samuel Rivera, shown above, who is a former police officer and professional wrestler.
The arrests were the latest in an anti-corruption campaign waged by U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie's office. More than 100 public officials in the state have been convicted on federal corruption charges in the last five years.

The images rushed back today -- as they often do for asap reporter Chelsea J. Carter with such news: Three suspected Islamic terrorists from an al-Qaida-influenced group were arrested on suspicion of plotting imminent, massive bomb attacks on U.S. facilities in Germany.
Today's AP story by David McHugh reported: A senior State Department official said German investigators had determined the Frankfurt International Airport and the nearby U.S. Ramstein Air Base were the primary targets of the plot but that those arrested may have also been considering strikes on other sites, particularly facilities associated with the United States.
For many this will be a new chapter, a new incident in the post-Sept. 11 world we now know. For Carter, though, this isn't something new. It's a reminder of events more than 20 years ago where Americans in Germany were targeted by terrorists with deadly consequences.

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig resigned today over a sex sting in a Minnesota airport men's room.
"I apologize for what I have caused," Craig said at a news conference surrounded by his family.
His resignation capped a stunning week that began Monday with the disclosure that Craig had pleaded guilty to a reduced charge after his arrest in the sex sting. Craig, 62, remained defiant after the arrest and guilty plea were reported, contending that his only mistake was pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge. "I am not gay. I have never been gay," he declared Tuesday with his wife, Suzanne, at his side.

It was a little over 10 years ago that I sat down with Richard Jewell for an interview about the one-year anniversary of the bombing at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park. In that year, he had gone from hero security guard to bombing suspect to, well, angry citizen.
With news of his death this week, asap takes a minute to reflect on the legacy of man who once told me that he was just trying to do the right thing -- first with the suspicious package that later exploded killing one and injuring 111 others, and then with his lawsuits to clear his name.
"I'm angry, yes. And I'm going to stay angry until I make sure they don't do this to someone else," he said in July 1997.

Ten people have been arrested and soon will be charged in the killing of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya -- an outspoken critic of the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin who was gunned down last year in a contract-style slaying, officials announced today.
Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika told Putin of the arrest in televised remarks, but he refused to tell reporters who was suspected of ordering the killing.
Politkovskaya, shown above in a 2001 file photo, often criticized Putin and tirelessly chronicled the killings, kidnappings and torture of civilians in war-scarred Chechnya. She was shot dead in her Moscow apartment building on Oct. 7, 2006, which is also Putin's birthday.
FOREIGN KILLER?: Chaika concluded that someone outside Russia carried out Politkovskaya's assassination in order to discredit Putin and throw the country into disarray.
NOT SO FAST: "Contrary to what the prosecutor general says, there were people inside the country interested in silencing her, and the investigation should be looking into this," Reporters Without Borders said in a statement.

"She's getting what everyone else would get," said Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers.
Meyers made that comment after an hour-long hearing today in which actress Lindsay Lohan agreed to a plea deal on misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges. Lohan, 21, will spend a day in jail and serve 10 days of community service and complete a drug treatment program.
Lohan was charged earlier in the day with seven misdemeanors stemming from two drunken-driving arrests in the past four months. Cocaine was found on her both times. She escaped more serious felony drug charges, prosecutors said, because tests showed there wasn't enough cocaine on her to warrant them.

Relatives of two Afghan men who raped a 7-year-old girl invoked tribal law and offered a 6-year-old relative as a future bride to compensate the victim's family, a social worker helping the victim told The Associated Press. Another proposal was that the 7-year-old rape victim marry a young relative of the brothers who attacked her to salvage the girl's honor. The girl's family turned down both offers.
AP reporter Alisa Tang in a story filed today tells how the family of the Afghani girl, shown above, has come forward to demand justice. They are defying social customs that view such attacks as a stain on the victim's honor.
Two months after the rape, the young girl is still in pain, rarely speaks and looks no one in the eye.
