AZ Man Accused Of Running Down Daughter Arrested In Atlanta
2009-11-01
Authorities said Friday that an Iraqi man, accused of running down his daughter in Arizona because she had become "too Westernized," has been taken into custody in Atlanta, Georgia. U.S. Marshals arrested Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, in Atlanta, according to spokesman James Ergas.

Police in Peoria, Arizona, say Almaleki struck his 20-year-old daughter, Noor Faleh Almaleki, and her friend Amal Edan Khalaf with the Jeep Laredo he was driving in a parking lot in Peoria on October 20. After the incident, Almaleki drove to Mexico, abandoning his vehicle in Nogales. He then made his way to Mexico City and boarded a plane to London, England. British authorities denied him entry into the country, and he was put on a plane back to the United States, police said.

Authorities arrested him late Thursday afternoon when he arrived at Atlanta's airport, police said, and he is awaiting extradition to Arizona.

#8  means pink underwear, prison striped uniform, trail mix and bologna to eat, and he gets to live in a tent, sort of like a Bedouin.

More likely, since he's high-profile, he'll be downtown or in one of the other jails.

Of course there's always the possibility he'll fall over a railing.

#7  The pure beef stuff is more expensive, Barbara dear. Sheriff Joe's budget has to stretch further these days, just like everyone else's, so the prisoners are just going to have to make do... again, just like everyone else. Of course, there is the option of not ingesting that which is haram, forbidden, but that leads to another kind of unhappiness.

#6  Now, now, tw - there is a beef bologna.

I'm sure Sheriff Joe will buy it special, just for Mr. Almaleki.

Sheriff Joe being so culturally sensative and all. :-D

#5  Bologna contains pork. Poor Mr. Almaleki is going to be very unhappy for the rest of his life.

#3  Update: He has been returned to Arizona, and since Peoria is in Maricopa County, he is now under the tender care of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. This means pink underwear, prison striped uniform, trail mix and bologna to eat, and he gets to live in a tent, sort of like a Bedouin.

A Jeep Laredo!
Surely if he is going to commit an honor crime, the least he could have used was a hybrid. Where is his sensitivity for the environment. Throw the book at him.
