[TABLE="width: 500, align: left"] [TR] [TD][IMG]http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02557/Sean-Lopes_2557084b.jpg[/IMG][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] Sean Lopes, who was arrested in 2004 over the attempted murder and kidnap of his ex-girlfriend Amanda Hopkins, was detained in New Road, Chatham, on Monday after a member of the public raised concerns to police. It is believed the 47 year-old had been living at an address in Victoria Road, Chatham, after fleeing America when he was bailed in 2004. The American authorities had thought the "violent fugitive" was living in Trinidad and Tobago. Lopes, a former science teacher, was listed as one of New York's most wanted criminals in 2006 after he was found guilty of attacking Miss Hopkins, 22, also a teacher who is the niece of a US federal magistrate in Florida. [B]...[/B] Prosecutors in New York at the time said that Lopes became obsessed with Miss Hopkins and was furious that she dumped him after discovering he was 10 years older than he had claimed, was married and was the father of a young girl. It was claimed Lopes sneaked into the Bronx teacher's Upper East Side apartment in New York on June 25, 2004, armed with a fake gun, a stun gun and a knife, and waited for her to come home. When she arrived Lopes attacked and choked her, and threatened to kill her and then commit suicide.

Sure, what he did was horrible, but it doesn't really seem extensive enough to make him one of the most wanted men in the country.

[QUOTE=dass;40570653]Almost bin Laden level just for that? Ok....[/QUOTE] There are different wanted lists for domestic criminals and international terrorists. Domestic is mostly murder suspects that are on the run.
