Fugitive software pioneer has reportedly been arrested in Guatemala for illegally entering the country, says Guatemalan Interior Minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla. McAfee, known for his paranoia and experimental drug use, went on the run from his home Belize after his neighbor was murdered on November 11 and he was sought for questioning.

On Tuesday, McAfee told journalists he was applying for political asylum. Guatemalan authorities, however, said they had received no asylum request from McAfee. Belize still seeks him for questioning, but he does not face arrest, Belizean authorities say.

The headline alone is quite something, but I'm sure this story will develop a fair bit.

He was worried about the govt of Belize for a while, he hid somewhere from them. But this is the first time of heard of experimental drug use and paranoia. I wonder from where are they getting this info ..

Friend of mine spent sometime with him recently before this all happened. Was interviewing him. Said he got the creeps from him for sure.
