Norman Hsu, the Democrats benefactor has been nabbed on The Zephyr train in Grand Junction enroute to Chicago. He became ill on the Amtrak train and Grand Junction paramedics were summoned. He was taken to St. Mary's Hospital. FBI agents took Hsu into custody later.

1:15am Eastern update. The Grand Junction Sentinel reports that Hsu was captured after getting sick on an Amtrak train: “Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was arrested in Grand Junction tonight, after he failed to show up for a court appearance in California related to a felony theft conviction. FBI agents took Hsu into custody around 7 p.m. at St. Mary’s Hospital FBI, spokesman Joseph Schadler said in a statement. Hsu was traveling on an Amtrak train when he became ill. Grand Junction paramedics were summoned to the Amtrak station near downtown about 11 a.m. Thursday to treat a patient, Battalion Chief Robert Ferguson said. The patient, whom Ferguson said he found out eight hours later was a fugitive, was not in great pain, Ferguson said.

Maybe “not in great pain,” but he’s gonna be in a world of hurt.

Checking the Amtrak schedule, he must have been on the California Zephyr, which runs from Northern California through Colorado (with a stop in Grand Junction) and ends up in…Chicago, IL:
