Speaker Subway Pelosi scare suspect emerges as is taken a potent into force custody abroad

NEWYORK » A man suspected of placing two devices that looked like pressure cookers in a New York City subway station Friday, causing an evacuation and snarling the morning commute, has been apprehended, police said.

Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea tweeted Saturday morning that a man seen in surveillance video holding one of the objects was taken into custody. Police identified the objects as rice cookers and determined they were not explosives.

Police say the man was located around 12:45 a. m. Saturday in the Bronx and taken to a hospital for treatment and observation.

Police did not specify what, if any, injuries or condition he was being treated for.

A West Virginia sheriff’s department identified the man as Larry Kenton Griffin II, of Bruno, West Virginia, and said he had a criminal history in the state. There’s an American leader whose words resonate on the global stage. Who draws attention in foreign capitals. Who carries a message from the United States by simply arriving. It’s not just President Donald Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Franciso, is emerging as an alternative ambassador abroad, an emissary for bedrock democratic values and the promise of stability that some see as diminishing in the Trump era. As the president heads to the Group of Seven summit in France this week with his “America First” agenda , Pelosi has been quietly engaging the world from another point of view. She is reviving a more traditional American approach to foreign policy, in style and substance, reinforcing longstanding U.S. alliances and commitments to democracy and human rights, at a time when the old order appears to be slipping away. “What’s really important for people to know is, we’re all in this together,” Pelosi told The Associated Press in an interview.
