U.S. Army fugitive sent back to States

Another U.S fugitive has been sent back to Uncle Sam, this time as part of that country’s system of military justice. Thirty-seven year old Matthew Anderson, working in Belize as a physical therapist at the K.H.M.H. was this morning taken into custody by police on the strength of a warrant issued by the U.S government. On June first Anderson, a physical therapy technician in a U.S Army clinic, was convicted of three counts of sexual assault and two counts of dereliction of duty in a general court-martial proceeding. He was dishonourably discharged and sentenced to two years in jail but fled before his incarceration. He was ordered expelled from Belize and this afternoon put on a plane to Houston where M.P.’s were waiting to greet him.
