Biggggggg Mike, the 24-hour Menace to Ohio State, Arrested in Iowa
Biggggg Mike, the fugitive who posed for a photo with Olympian and Ohio State rifle team member Amanda Furrer last Sunday night on Ohio State's campus, has been arrested in Iowa:
According to the U.S. Marshals Service, Michael Tarpeh, who also goes by Michael Boadi and Bigggggg Mike, was arrested by the Iowa State Patrol near Council Bluffs, Iowa.
His last known location before his arrest was OSU.
Tarpeh was wanted by the Troy City Police Department in New York. He also was wanted by the Monogalia County, West Virginia, authorities for malicious wounding, sexual assault and grand larceny.
And thins brings to a close one of the zanier campus stories in recent memory. We can all sleep a little safer this evening, though we'll never forget the time we had together.
It's been real Bigggggg Mike

Good luck, Mike.
The reaction to Biggggg Mike's appearance in Columbus reminded me of this for some strange reason:
this is classic hahaha
This spawned my fantasy baseball league's divisional names once...Hide Yo Kids and Hide Yo Wife. Such a classic
I think it's hilarious that OSUPD is gloating about this on Twitter, seeing as he tweeted multiple times about being right next to OSUPD officers while he was here. They had absolutely no chance of catching him and, unless there's some information that I haven't seen yet, did absolutely nothing to help bring him in.
If anyone should be gloating or taking credit, it's the U.S. Marshals who brought him down. Which just shows that you don't run from Raylan Givens.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
Fwiw Denton, the head of OSUPD is a real McAsshole, and entirely incompetent.
I work at the Union and one of the head security guys at the union-- coordinated through OSUPD-- asked one of our chefs who Bigggggg Mike was.
glad the bum got caught - was worried about student safety on campus.
as a side note - Amedeo Della Valle is hilarious!
I like football
Thank God it was a petite, blond, female member of the OSU Rifle team that had her picture taken with Bigggg Mike, the possible sex offender. If it had been some Pa. football recruit they might have been scared off.

Literally the first thumbs up I have given. Quality post for sure.
The postgame show is brought to you by... Christ, I can't find it. The hell with it...
Thanks! Couldn't pass it up.

Troy NY is 5 miles from me in Albany. In other news: not suprising

There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding this story: how many "g's" are used in the appropriate spelling of Biggggg(gg) Mike? I am seeing anywhere between five and seven.
Are we sure they didn't catch Bigggg Mike who is not dangerous?

This is a good point. Everyone should vigilant until this is sorted out.
Not Sure, but it's clear Upgrayedd has nothing on this guy.
That movie was the first thing I thought of when I saw this, too LMAO
