New Jersey dad arrested in death of girl tossed in creek

[The Northerner]

LOS ANGELES—A New Jersey man suspected of killing his 2-year-old daughter by tossing her into a creek while she was still strapped in her car seat has been captured in California.

The U.S. Marshals Service in San Diego confirmed that 27-year-old Arthur Morgan III was arrested on Tuesday afternoon.

Steve Jurman, the office's supervising deputy, said Morgan was captured at a home in San Diego around 4:30 p.m. PST.

Jurman said his office got a tip from New Jersey authorities that Morgan might be at the home, and surveillance was conducted there for most of the day. Morgan was then spotted on the home's back porch and, after a brief period where it appeared he might try to flee, Morgan was captured without incident.

4. Yep, this is where barbaric methods should be legal.

That man should be drawn and quartered by a herd of wild horses. That little girl died a horrible death.

5. This is why we have courts. They are evidently not there for the richest .001% who rip off Billions

or start illegal wars. Hopefully this person will find justice.

8. Give him a fair trial.

And then assuming he is found guilty by a jury of his peers ...


tie him to a chair and leave him in a swamp full of hungry gators.


I know it would never happen but there is a small part of me that
is saying I would not be too greatly upset if this were to happen.
