Ohio police were looking for Matt Stephen Taylor/proffr/mattd regarding alleged threats posted to an Independent Media Center website against Steven Roach, the policeman whose shooting of an unarmed black man led to riots in Cincinnati. But the Australian cops nabbed him first. The charges seem to stem from the vandalism of a McDonald's outlet in Australia and disobeying police/prison guard instructions. Matt reports that a U.S. Secret Service agent showed up at his arrest in Australia.
