A United States citizen who has evaded the law for quite some time has been caught in Belize and extradited to the U.S.A. for prosecution.

On Wednesday last, 24-year-old Diana Jamyamily Bass, a student from Starkville, Oktibbeha County Mississippi in the United States, was turned in by U.S. Marshalls in Houston after she was arrested in Belize for a crime she committed in the states.

Bass, who was caught by the Crimes Investigations Branch, was wanted by U.S. officials for selling a controlled substance, locally known as Alprazolam brand name Xanax, a drug prescribed for anxiety disorders and patients who are debilitated due to old age.

In the United States the sale of drugs is considered a felony and offenders may be ordered to pay a fine or in some cases sentenced to serve time, depending on the amount of drugs seised at the time of the arrest.

That's the first deported U.S. fugitive I've seen without grey hair and a ponytail.

For Xanax!!!! Wow, they got the kingpin. I can pick that up at any pharmacy here.

I remember in high school days this all night club we went dancing at it was a popular trend to so xanax and stay awake as it was a sleeping pill.

Never tried though, but did see a few people get pretty loopy doing so.

my taxes at work, glad they spent so much of it to bring back such a person, on the other hand, I dont know the details and maybe it was justified...

I will volunteer in the future to go and find such people, just sign me up, I'll make an exhaustive search of every bar, hotel and public place. Just send me the plane fare and the mission N possible..

yes, sarcassim if my favortite form of humor and spelling is not my strong point:)

You can get Schedule IV drugs in Belize without a perscription?

You betcha!!!

what about Schedule III?

Hmmm, possible Achilles' heel
