After Altair Jaspe moved from Venezuela to the Colombian capital, Bogotá, she was taken aback by the way she was addressed when she walked into any shop, cafe or doctor’s office.

“It brought me to the colonial era, automatically,” said Ms. Jaspe, 63, a retired logistics manager, expressing her initial discomfort with the phrase.

Thon’s scouting report: Jaspe, 16, is a 6-foot-1, right-handed pitcher with a repeatable delivery, a quick arm, and a solid 3-pitch mix.

Jaspe was charged with possessing a hoax bomb.

A witness told investigators Jaspe also had a metal box with electrical wires attached to it.
