DISNEY CRUISE SHIP PICKS UP THREE FUGITIVES

A Disney cruise ship rescued three fugitives from the waters off Cuba’s coast. Disney’s Fantasy cruise liner was about 50 miles north of Varadero, Cuba, when the crew spotted the fugitives with a capsized boat on Thursday morning. Cuban nationals Luis Rivera-Garcia, 26, Juliet Estrada-Perez, 23, and Jesus Enrique Gonzalez-Torres, 23, were taken on board and staff notified the U.S. Coast Guard. It wasn’t until the coast guard fingerprinted the Cubans that it was discovered they were wanted on federal credit card fraud charges in New Orleans. Authorities said the trio had bonded out of jail last fall after being accused of planting credit card skimming devices on gas pumps. U.S. Marshals believe the three co-defendants may have been fleeing to Cuba to avoid prosecution in the U.S.
* A Disney boat in Cuba picks up escaped fugitives from New Orleans. Hmmm … small world.
* Now they feel goofy.
* They’re now being held in the Happiest Jail on Earth.
* The three fugitives were sentenced to finish the Disney cruise.
* Wow, times have really changed. People escaping TO Cuba for a change.
* So other than the legal trouble in New Orleans and the capsized boat everything these guys did turned out great.
* And that’s when the Somali pirates hit.
* At least make them act as waiters for the Midnight Buffet.
* Now Disney is forcing the three men to work in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” exhibit.
