posted (March 23, 2015)
Another US fugitive has been caught in Belize. Troy Pertuset came across Belize's northern border some weeks ago - and ended up getting caught at the Western Border when he was trying to head to Guatemala.

He was kicked out of Mexico because he claimed to be Canadian but he didn't have a passport. When the Mexicans checked with the Canadian government they could find no record of him being a citizen.

So, he ende dup in Belize where a routine check with the US Embassy found that he is US fugitive Troy Anthony Pertuset - wanted for probation violations stemming from a sexual assault in West Virginia. A statement from the US Embassy says they are "working closely with Belize authorities to ensure Pertuset is returned to the United States as soon as possible."
