Excerpted from KOS:


"Police have arrested a 51-year old Kansas man for the murder of Wichita
abortion provider Dr. George Tiller. Police are not releasing the name
of the suspect, but numerous media sources are reporting that a man
named Scott Roeder has been arrested in connection with the crime.


A 1997 Militia Watchdog report put out by the Anti-Defamation League
lists the following activity for July 7:

"July 7, Kansas: Scott Roeder is sentenced to sixteen months in state
prison for parole violations following a 1996 conviction for having bomb
components in his car trunk. Roeder, a sovereign citizen and tax
protester, violated his parole by not filing tax returns or providing
his social security number to his employer."

I searched the Kansas Department of Corrections website, and they have a
listing for Scott Roeder, which matches the suspect description.

His full name is Scott Philip Roeder. He is 51 years old. Birthday is 25
February 1958. He is 6'-2" tall and weighs 230 lbs. He was convicted in
1996 in Shawnee County, Kansas for Criminal Use of Explosives.

According to records from the Kansas Secretary of State's office, and
available on the Kansas VoterView website, he is a *registered
Republican* in Shawnee, Kansas. According to the voter records, he last
voted in 1994."
