Steals Plane, Buys Gatorade

From CNN:
The chase began with a stolen plane from a Canadian flight school, meandered through three states with U.S. fighter jets hot on the trail and forced the evacuation of the state Capitol in Wisconsin.

Yavuz Berke is being held in the U.S. after allegedly stealing a plane from a Canadian flight school.

It ended about seven hours later in a Midwestern town of 360 people inside a general store off a narrow dirt road -- with the suspect sipping on a Gatorade, waiting to be cuffed.

"He just came in, got a Gatorade, tried to get a beef jerky, didn't have enough money, went over and sat down and just kind of watched people come and go," said Tammy Bailey of Simmons Grocery & Hardware in Ellsinore in southern Missouri.

Authorities said there, they caught up with the man -- identified by U.S. immigration officials as Yavuz Berke, also known as Adam Dylan Leon -- after his 783-mile journey in the stolen Cessna 172 aircraft Monday.

Berke, who authorities said is a Turkish-born Canadian citizen, was in the custody of U.S. immigration officials Tuesday on suspicion of illegally entering the United States, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

Killer's Letter: 'Have Nice Day'

From K. C. Wildmoon at CNN:
The suspect in last week's deadly shooting at a Binghamton, New York, immigrant center believed he had been harassed for years by undercover police officers, according to a letter received by a New York television station and purportedly written by that suspect, Jiverly Wong.
Police said they were studying the two-page letter, neatly written in broken English, to determine its authenticity. But the package that arrived Monday at News 10 Now in Syracuse also contained photographs of Wong with two handguns, his gun permit and his driver's license. . . . "I am Jiverly Wong shooting the people," the letter begins followed by an apology that "I know a little English." What follows is details of Wong's beliefs that undercover police had taunted him, tortured him and spread rumors about him wherever he went. . . .
At the end of the letter, Wong complained that he cannot "accept my poor life" and that he assume the role of judge and "cut my poor life." He demanded that an "undercover cop" be held responsible for whatever happened and ended with "You have a nice day."
