Famous crime boss James
2011-06-23 14:40:24 GMT
Legendary Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger, who has been on the run for more than a decade, was arrested Wednesday in Santa Monica, multiple law enforcement sources told The Times.
Bulger, 81, has been the subject of several books and was the inspiration for 'The Departed', a 2006 Martin Scorsese movie staring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson.
Bulger fled Boston in late 1994 when federal agents were about to arrest him in connection with 21 murders, extortion and other crimes that spanned the early 1970s until the mid-1980s.
He was arrested by the FBI in a building without incident, said the sources, who asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak on the issue. The details surrounding his arrest were unclear Wednesday night.
The FBI in Los Angeles declined comment.
The arrest came as the FBI launched a media campaign in 14 cities to help determine Bulger's whereabouts.
The last credible sighting of Bulger was in London in 2002, the FBI said.
