The Michael Ludwick Hostage
Standoff: His Story In His Own
Words
Last week, Mike Ludwick,
armed to the teeth held his wife
and three children hostage in
their home in Bello Horizonte, in
Escazú.
The family was allowed to leave
shortly after police were called
to the scene around 6:00pm, as, the man's wife helped
them identify the problem and
told them that he had a shotgun
and a pistol, with ample
ammunition, in the house.
For almost 18 hours after the
call to police, a police armored
vehicle with a negotiator inside
was able to get close to the
home and talk to the man, who
finally gave himself up.
Several insidecostarica.com
readers sent in an email
pointing to a website where
Ludwick told his side of the
story. One reader wrote that the
man was "making a mockery of
your country, the Costa Rican
people and your newspaper".
A check of the internet
registrar reveals that both
Interfun.net and Chatropolis.com
list Jimenez R., Angera
Partricia (Ludwick;s wife) as
the "administrative contact".
Follwoing is a copy of Ludwick's
post on Chatropolis on July 1,
2006 (with spelling mistakes
corrected):
News Title: I Just Can't
Make This Shit Up!!!
Posted By: Michael
Ludwick
I think everyone is aware of my
chronic pain issue. If the pain
goes longer than a few days with
out medication I'm a little
difficult to be around.
So on Tuesday of this week I
lost it. Ripped off a couple of
doors and even shot one door to
death. No big deal. How wrong
could I have been. Without
telling me my wife took everyone
to the police and begged them to
get me some pain killers. The
immediately escalated the
situation.
To make the even more scared my
neighbor said I was a Russian
Terrorist, had several dogs
trained to kill and even had
some variety of tiger trained to
kill everyone. What he means is
I have 6 Bassett hounds and a
cat none of which will do
anything I ask, never mind
killing anyone.
So now the situation is fucked.
The have 3 full blown SWAT teams
and at least as many uniformed
officers..
The plan... They get an
Ambulance and they say they had
some Morphine for me. They
looked a little stressed and
wanted me to go to them. So now
I know I will a tleast get a
shot before an uneventful
arrest. Again was I
fucking wrong.
When the ambulance doors opened
I had 50 riffles at (sic)
nutsack level. So I
complied for some informal
questioning downtown. Again I am
a fuckwit. They drop me in a
sublevel cell so deep I didn't
know what day it was when I got
upstairs.
The charge was a weapons beef
that is now of no value because
they left me in the hole for 36
hours. Very illegal even for
these brain dead dick (sic)
swallowers. They also did not
give me a phone call during the
first 24 hours....again very not
legal.
The articles, tv and radio all
told of the capture of world
famous Russian terrorist Mike
Ludwiski and his exploits with
killer animals and firearms. I
was also accused of firing twice
at my (sic) nonut neighbor. 2
shots would be a waste of an 80
cent bullet.
So I slept in a putrid puddle
for a few days and will soon own
several newspapers, a tv station
and the house next store.
Slander/libel laws are fucking
tough down here. So good for me
bad for them.
I will update in a few days.
