Deportee detained for 2007 murder

Arthur Young has been on the run since November of 2007 for the stabbing murder of twenty-four year old Calvin Young and the attempted murder of a minor. But Young is now behind bars after he was handed over to Belizean authorities around ten a.m. on Wednesday morning by U.S. Marshals. Young fled the country shortly after the incident on November second of that year and had been in hiding in Houston. When he landed at the P.G.I.A., he was handcuffed and was taken immediately to the Magistrates’ Court where the book was thrown at him. News Five spoke with Press Officer for the Police Department, Clement Palacio, about Young’s deportation.
