Man jailed after sending Iowa hostages for beer
FORT MADISON (AP) -- An Illinois man who police say held five people hostage in a Fort Madison motel was arrested after he sent two of his hostages on a beer run.
Police say 33-year-old Jason Slagel, of Moline, Ill., is charged with five counts of false imprisonment and going armed with intent. They say Slagel pulled a knife during an argument Tuesday night with another man and told the people in the room that they wouldn't be allowed to leave.
One man was cut and Slagel had a cut on his hand, but police say the injuries weren't serious.
Police say that after awhile, Slagel got thirsty and sent two of his hostages out for beer.
After they left they called police and Slagel was arrested without incident.

" We should not wonder why the jails are full. This is just one good example of today's criminals. Stay in school, people. You aren't smart enough to commit crimes. "

" Missy, dont you know that the failures of these criminals is the failure of public schools. parents and the student/criminals arent to be blamed. it is the society who is to blame. not enough villages were built to help these poor souls. they just need a chance, someone to care for them.
the blah blah socialist nanny state of liberalism would make you want to believe the above. The jails are full for one reason, the lazy and unproductive need to steal rob, rape and murder because they dont want to work hard and take advantage of the system that is in place.
barack hussein obama also thinks we should babysit these do-nothings. "

" Hatefield,
This is HUGE! If we can prove that Obama wants to babysit do-nothing kidnappers the presidency is McCains! Can you please let us know where or when he ever said anything about babysitting do-nothing kidnappers? Give us the dates, the papers, news shows...Whatever you have as proof of this. Then we can alert Rush and Hannity and get this guy kicked off the ballot.
This is the first good news we have had in a long time. What a mistake on Obama's part. This will cost him big-time in November....Unless this is just a hateful rant on your part with no backing. Then you just look like an idiot. "
