Obviously. He was always kind. Action news learned that he recently lived in this former boarding house and worked as a mechanic and alleges that the former avionics specialist attempted to cross the border in syria to join isis and that he converted to islam when he moved in 1998 and came on the fbis radar in 2001 after a coworker reported that he expressed sympathies with Osama Bin Laden and in 2002, an owe associate told the fbi that he had an interest to travel over seas to fight jihad. This is all surprise to his former roommate here. Shock. But when you hear stuff like that, you say to yourself do you really know people. He took an interest in martial arts but there was nothing in his behavior that led him to believe he had interest in icy. He would sit on the porch and seemed like a nice guy. Is he charged with attempting to provide Material Support to isis and obstruction of justice and related offenses and is set to be arraigned tomorrow morning in brooklyn live in millville, knowledge, dann cuellar, channel 6 action news. Thank you. A professor at Penn State Abington is arrested for Disorderly Conduct after being removed from a u. S. Air flight from nicaragua to d. C. Chad pradelli is live now what is the reaction on campus to the story and to that video . Reporter jim, they are shocked and the question emerging is whether she was trying to make a point or is she a deeply troubled person. She agreed to do an on camera interview but backed outsiding family pressures. In this video, captured by another passenger, the associated penn state professor appeared drunk or on medication. At one point she lit a cigarette and dismissed warnings she would be arrested upon landing and on landing the talk was about the professor. That is ridiculous. She was a nice teacher when i had her, she had her different opinions but i really liked her im shocked actually. She claim that fbi and tsa agents tortured her when she was arrested. I do not understand why i was treatd this way, i love freedom and democracy but this seems more like fascism to me. This is her with our sister station in florida. The United States military Industrial Complex is a smoking gun for the rest of the world. It was a political statement you were making . Of course. The 32yearold taught at penn state since 2005. The university is aware of the incident and looking into the matter. There are ways to make a point but on a plane is not the way to do it can you protest on campus and other stuff but on the plane there is really no point. Reporter and jim both the fbi and the tsa deny the allegations that the tsa went further and a spokesperson told action news that the tsa was not even a part of her arrest. Live in abington, chad pradelli channel 6 action news. Thank you. There is another problem for penn state the fraternity on the main campus has been suspended.

The government did not pick up on the fact that the child died until we pursued matching our records with the information provided by the state and local and we sent a notice to her asking for information on the child and she lied to us on two separate occasions, the child only identified as sk died at Childrens Hospital in 2010. The government was not aware anything was wrong until the summer 2013, the indictment alleges that she was able to lie to the Social Security administration again and collected payments until last august.
