Idema's wife arrested

By Greg Barnes
Staff writer

The U.S. Marshal's Service arrested the wife of Jonathan Keith ''Jack'' Idema Friday on charges that she violated conditions of her parole in Texas.

Idema, a former Special Forces soldier from Fayetteville, was convicted by an Afghan court in September of torturing Afghan citizens in a freelance hunt for terrorists.

His wife, who was booked in the Cumberland County Detention Center under the name Vickie Robertson, served two stints in a Texas prison - the last ending in 1997 - for forgery and credit card theft.

Robertson - who also uses the names Viktoria Running Wolf and Vickie Boyette - is accused of violating conditions of her parole by leaving Texas without permission.

Robertson has lived with Idema in Fayetteville for several years. She owned the Ultimate Pet Resort until recently, when it closed. She says she and Idema got married in Hawaii.

Robertson's arrest

Robertson was arrested by members of the U.S. Marshals' Service Violent Fugitive Task Force on a request by law enforcement in Texas, a spokesman for the Marshal's Service in Raleigh said.

Idema, a controversial figure in Fayetteville and in Afghanistan, is appealing his conviction, which carries a 10-year prison sentence. Fayetteville resident Brent Bennett was also sentenced to 10 years. The other American involved, cameraman Ed Caraballo of New York, got eight years.

The three were arrested July 5 and sentenced Sept. 15.
