Arrest
Immediately after Renner sold him Valium and placebo sleeping pills, the 43-year old Malike was arrested on charges of "unlawful possession of Valium" and lying to law enforcement about his interactions with the store clerk, his alleged disinterest in explosives, his purposes in Florida and denying he had other streams of income. He was arraigned the following day.
He was given Heidi Cesare as his court-appointed defence attorney, and was arraigned without bail the following day as federal attorney Catherine Friesen said that his actions suggested he "may either be a terrorist or have delusions of undertaking terrorist-type activities".
He pled guilty to the charges of lying to officials and was sentenced to 37 months, which his attorney Alan M. Gardner appealed.

Famous quotes containing the word arrest:
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
“One does not arrest Voltaire.”
—Charles De Gaulle (1890–1970)
