Man Settles Lawsuit with Amtrak after Being Arrested
Posted by John WR on Thursday, May 23, 2013 3:06 PM

Ojore Lutalo, a resident of Elizabeth, New Jersey was arrested in LaJunta, Colorado when another passenger thought  he heard threatening statements.  Lutalo is reported to be an ex convict.  Prosecutors found he had not made any threats and did not charge him with a crime.  

From the first article:  "Police said in an affidavit that passengers overheard Lutalo saying he hadn't killed anyone yet and talking about going to jail."

An account as been published in The Star-Ledger:  http://www.nj.com/union/index.ssf/2013/05/elizabeth_man_settles_suit_aft.html#incart_river

if you read it be sure to read the earlier stories linked to at the bottom of the article.
