Now this is more like the FBI I remember - too busy to worry with
legitimate leads when there are "cults"  to be tracked down and
burned out of their homes.

Driver questioned, `reeked of suspicion,' but FBI disinterested

An Atlanta man of Middle Eastern descent was stopped and
questioned after he almost hit a Blount County Sheriff's Office
cruiser on Hall Road Tuesday night.

What deputies found and how the man acted ``reeked of the odor
of suspicion,'' Chief Deputy Tony Crisp said.

Deputies searched his vehicle and found several valid driver
licenses from Georgia and Tennessee, a Social Security card and
receipts from several cash wire transfers to Pakistan and
Indonesia.

Alcoa police had questioned the man earlier in the day at Kroger in
Alcoa when he made a $10,200 wire transfer to Pakistan, the report
said.

Deputy Angie Condee reported at 9:30 p.m., a black Toyota Celica
driving erratically on Hall Road and slowly in the passing lane.

When the vehicle jerked back into Condee's lane and almost struck
the cruiser, Condee stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver,
her report said.

``The deputy was behind him and he bowed up and stopped in the
road. The vehicle behind the deputy almost hit her by having to
make an abrupt stop, too,'' Crisp said.

Deputy Steve Anderson arrived, then Condee asked and was given
consent to search the man's vehicle.

The deputies found several passports with different names and
several wire transfer records with dates over the last year and
funds sent to Pakistan and Indonesia. He had three different
Georgia licenses -- one temporary, one permanent and one for
identification only -- one Tennessee driver's license (for I.D. only)
and a Social Security card with a different name. The Social
Security number came back not on file.

The 36-year-old man said he was driving his brother's vehicle and
told deputies he was in town to work at an Alcoa restaurant,
officials said.

Crisp said deputies didn't have any idea why the man drove four
hours to work at an Alcoa restaurant, ``and he couldn't articulate
why he was doing that, either.''

The money transferred Tuesday from the Alcoa Kroger was four
different transfers, three for $3,000 and one for $1,000, Crisp said.

The man denied making the transfers, even though his vehicle tag
number matched the tag number of the man who made the Alcoa
Kroger cash transfers, Crisp said.

Sheriff James Berrong, Capt. Jim Long and Sgt. Tim Wilson came
to the scene of Condee's traffic stop. Federal Bureau of
Investigation officials were contacted, but never responded.

Crisp said the man acted suspiciously.

``He never did ask why we stopped him. He could speak English
pretty fluently, but when he felt uncomfortable answering, he would
indicate he couldn't speak very good English,'' Crisp said.

Crisp said the man had records of monthly money transfers to
Indonesia from 1999.

The man followed deputies to the Blount County Jail where he was
photographed, fingerprinted and released as part of the
investigation for criminal impersonation due to information given
about the wire transfers, the report said.
