James 'Whitey' Bulger arrested in Santa Monica

The LA Times is reporting Famed crime boss James 'Whitey' Bulger arrested in Santa Monica. "Legendary Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger, who has been on the run for more than a decade, was arrested Wednesday in Santa Monica, multiple law enforcement sources told The Times."

"Bulger fled Boston in late 1994 as federal agents were about to arrest him in connection with 21 killings, racketeering and other crimes that spanned the early 1970s to the mid-1980s." He has been on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List.

Just this week Rachel Maddow was talking about how bizarre it was that the FBI was trying to find him through his girlfriend by placing ads and info during women's programming like The View. I wonder if that paid off.

Bulger's brother William was the President of the MA State Senate. "Boston media is going to be off the chain tomorrow."
