A US couple who had fled to Cuba after snatching their two young sons from the care of their grandmother are behind bars in Tampa, Florida, local law enforcement said Wednesday.

A US airplane carrying Joshua Hakken, his wife Sharyn Patricia and their sons, aged two and four, landed in Tampa from Cuba early Wednesday, local media reported. Hakken was attempting to flee US authorities when he took his wife and boys to Cuba aboard his sailboat on Monday.

Joshua Hakken was booked in the Hillsborough County, Florida jail and faces charges that include child neglect, kidnapping, burglary, and grand theft auto, while Sharyn Hakken will face charges of kidnapping, interference with child custody and child neglect, according the website of the sheriff’s office.

TV footage showed the couple arriving in the United States in handcuffs.

1. Good!

Hope they enjoy Cuban jails!

2. Why go to Cuba?

Anti-government radicals go to Cuba. Yes, I know it was close and a chance that the Cuban government wouldn't send them back. But, don't like government, so escape to a place where the government is everything. There must have been someplace better in the Caribbean or the coast of South America. Venezuela will probably devolve into a government-less piece of real estate.

3. Don't expect anti-Obama NWO conspiracy theorists to make any sense. nt

4. I would think Somalia would have been a more appropriate destination

Given that they're all anti-government and all...


Funny tidbit...when I was typing "appropriate", at first I accidentally spelled it appropirate...I guess that would have been fitting as well.
