Torres being held in Texas jail
Pasadena, Texas police arrested 32 year old Marco Torres around 11:30 Monday morning in Houston, without incident.
They tell us their operation started around 5 am.
About 8:30, their SWAT team followed Torres to the Lamp Light motel in Houston.
After monitoring him for about three hours, the SWAT team moved in and apprehended Torres.
They do not work the streets. They work warrants. That is what they are doing, is they are looking for people like this, and we want to take them off the street. They are looking for parole violations and that kind of thing, and highprofile warrants, said Officer Vance Mitchell.
Pasadena police say there has been a lot of cooperation in this case with Grand Island police.
Since the beginning, it has been thought Torres may be in the Texas area.

NEW YORK, March 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Translation Project, a new initiative of The Rosenkranz Foundation that aims to counter Islamic extremism through funding the translation and dissemination of books and texts promoting tolerance, moderation and respect for individual rights in the Middle East, announced today that its first two grants will be awarded to The Cato Institute's Lamp of Liberty and the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation. "There is an ideological battle taking place in the Middle East between moderate intellectuals and radical extremists," said Robert Rosenkranz, chairman of The Rosenkranz Foundation.

We are pleased to help the Lamp of Liberty and the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation lead the effort through the Translation Project," he added.
Sufficient identification
In identifying an offender, is it necessary that the witness has seen him actually commit the crime? This is the issue raised by Nanding in the charge of murder and frustrated murder filed against him. The charges against Nanding also known as "utak" in their neighborhood stems from the shooting to death of Mando and the wounding of the latter's wife Perla. According to Perla, at about 11:00 o'clock in the evening of April 15, 2000, she was on the way home aboard a passenger jeepney driven by her husband Mando, the deceased victim in this case. Perla said that as she and her young granddaughter were alighting from the jeepney, she heard two successive gunshots. She heard the first gunshot while helping her granddaughter get off the jeepney and instinctively looked at her husband whom she saw lying face down on the steering wheel.
