PALENVILLE, New York (AP) -- A fugitive from Ecuador suspected in the death of a prominent politician and two other men was arrested Saturday following a routine traffic stop, authorities said.
Christian Steven Ponce, 36, of Quito, Ecuador, was stopped Saturday afternoon in the hamlet of Palenville in upstate New York for not wearing a seat belt, according to the Greene County Sheriff's Department.

Ponce and two associates were suspected of fatally shooting former Ecuadorean presidential candidate Jaime Hurtado on February 17, 1999, in Quito, as well as Pablo Vicente Tapia -- Hurtado's nephew -- and their bodyguard, Wellington Borja Nazareno.

Hurtado was a leftist politician. It will be interesting to find out how his alleged assassin made it to update New York and what the Ecuadoran authorities do with this hot potato dropped back in their laps.
