A South Florida man was charged with first-degree murder Wednesday in the killing of a federal agent outside a busy post office.
James Patrick Wonder, 65, was detained without incident after a SWAT team and dozens of officers surrounded a shopping center in this community about 10 miles from Fort Lauderdale, said Pembroke Pines Deputy Police Chief Mike Segarra.
More than 400 law enforcement officers and at least two Black Hawk helicopters had been scouring South Florida for the suspect in the killing of 52-year-old customs agent Donald Pettit.

Would you or I get that kind of treatment had we been shot dead, readers?
No, we would get two locals looking into it, not a police state descending on the town.
Update:
"'Road rage' was motive in Fla. federal agent's death
"PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. (AP) — A man charged with killing a federal agent was late for an appointment and driving erratically when the confrontation erupted, police said Thursday.
Customs agent Donald Pettit, 52, was shot in the head outside of a post office Tuesday. A day later, James Patrick Wonder, 65, was arrested and charged with murder. He has admitted to the shooting, said Pembroke Pines Deputy Police Chief Mike Segarra.
It was not immediately clear whether Wonder had an attorney. A jail official said there was no attorney listed for him and a phone listing for Wonder was not working.
Wonder was on his way to a dialysis appointment when he and Pettit, who also was driving, exchanged obscene gestures, Segarra said. Wonder pulled into the post office parking lot, and Pettit, who was traveling with his 12-year-old daughter, followed. The men began arguing and Wonder pulled a handgun from his waistband and shot Pettit, according to police records.
Segarra said it's unclear if Pettit had business at the post office or if he was pursuing Wonder in an official law enforcement capacity. Pettit was on duty.
If he was on duty, WHY was his 12-year-old daughter with him?
Pettit's daughter gave a detailed description of the shooter, police said.
Wonder was arrested when he showed up for his dialysis treatment Wednesday. Police said he had tried to change his appearance after the shooting and he swapped his car for a rental one.
I thought the SWAT teams were scouring the area for him?
Why would the AmeriKan MSM cover up this police state in its subsequent pieces, readers?
Why are they HIDING the TYRANNY?
He was hospitalized after being questioned by authorities, but police would not say why.

So if the asshole fed had LET IT GO -- like the public is told to do -- he would be alive right now and the girl would still have a father, right?
That's not to justify him being shot, but what is with a tilt and power that makes people think they are invincible, untouchable fascistas.
