BOBBER FOUND!
Asylum with White Supremacists, Sordid Details Emerge

By Ariel Mutha-Tafoya, Fantasy Sports News

One of the nation’s longest manhunts ended early this morning when Triki Bobber, criminally insane owner of the Fidalgo Island Sea Hogs, was arrested inside an Aryan Nations compound outside Couer d’Alene, Idaho.

Bobber, who had risen to No. 1 on the FBI’s "Most Wanted Fugitives" list, was believed to have been somewhere in the Pacific Ocean aboard his armored yacht, the Fatal Attraction II. Acting on an informant’s tip, however, federal agents discovered Bobber inside a white supremacist retreat and conference center known as the Honky Chateau.

Details of the arrest were only beginning to emerge this afternoon, but one agent, speaking off the record, said that Bobber was found hunched over a computer in the basement of the building, visiting internet porn sites.

Bobber evidently had attempted to change his appearance in recent months. He was sporting a long beard and wearing a flannel lumberjack's shirt along with his trademark floppy sailor’s hat. FBI agents said that, according to their informant, Bobber was known around Couer d’Alene as Bob Hitler. He claimed to be the son of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, spirited out of Nazi Germany to Switzerland during the final days of World War II.

“Here is this guy who wants everybody to think he’s a criminal mastermind bent on global domination, living the life of a Bond villain,” the agent said, on condition of anonymity. “And it turns out he’s just your everyday kind of lowlife wack job, which is probably why he thought he could blend in up here.

“Makes you wonder whether everything we thought we knew about Bobber is just some pathetic fantasy he made up about himself. I bet the son of a bitch doesn’t even have a damn yacht.”

FSN will have more details on the case as they emerge.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: News of Bobber’s arrest has triggered sporadic rioting in the South Inglewood section of East Nashville, where a rumor apparently has spread that the recent deaths of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes were part of a Bobber-backed conspiracy to kill black entertainers. Metro police have attempted to restore order, saying that they believe the rumor is unfounded.
