1. Simon Sinister was involved in a nationwide child trafficking ring. While in Michigan, he came across Tom Thumb, a 14 year old boy. While things had been slow, Sinister thought he would be able to trade the boy quickly given the boy’s potential to do hard labor. He snatched up Tom and took him to Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Milwaukee is a major base for child trafficking. Sinister was at the motel with Tom waiting for his contact when the motel was raided by a joint task force including members of Milwaukee State Police, Michigan State Police, and FBI. Somehow, Sister’s sister reported what Simon was up to and gave out his location.

· The Sherriff’s department in Milwaukee sought and obtained an arrest warrant for human trafficking.

· The Michigan State police sought and obtained an arrest warrant for kidnapping.

· The FBI sought and obtained an arrest warrant for human trafficking, kidnapping across state lines, and child endangerment.
