Yesterday, an American fugitive identified as Randall Allen Smith, 47, of Radford, Illinois, was extradited to the United States on the strength of an arrest warrant.
Details are sketchy at this time, but according to Belize City police, Smith was wanted in the United States because he failed to register as a sex offender, which is a felony.
He violated his conditions and absconded to Belize. He was escorted back to the United States by local police officers.
Smith was staying at a home on Caye Caulker. He had been living on the island for 8 years and was in a relationship with a local woman for the last 8 months.
Police Press Officer, G. Michael Reid, told Amandala that police do not believe that Smith committed any crime while in Belize.
