A 30-year old UK fugitive, Ashley Carlton James, who was doing time for manslaughter at Sudbury open prison in Derbyshire has been arrested by the Guardia Civil on Mallorca, some five years after he disappeared from the facility. British officers who were patrolling Mallorca as part of a new summer initiative played a key part in his detention as they were called in to deal with a suspected domestic violence case involving the man allegedly attacking a female in August in Calviá, with Carlton James arrested a week later. The subsequent investigation which was jointly carried out between the Guardia and British police found that the way had skipped prison, in addition to ignoring requests for him to return. He’s been detained under the terms of a European Arrest Warrant as authorities work on extradition formalities.
