Flight Risk: Boone and Answer Questions

flight risk: Boone was arrested without incident in Montreal on Thursday after eight years on the run, several months after police opened an investigation at the request of U.S. authorities, according to The Waterloo Record. In an email, board spokesman Christian Tessier said authorities considered Boone to be a flight risk with the means to go back underground if released. A spokesman for the board said John Robert Boone was calm but refused to answer questions from border services agents during a detention review hearing Friday afternoon. He will remain in detention at least until his next hearing, scheduled for Dec. 29. Boone, 73, spent more than a decade in prison after being convicted in the 1980s in what prosecutors called the largest domestic marijuana syndicate in American history. The U.S. Marshals Service said Thursday that authorities had been seeking Boone since they seized 2,400 marijuana plants on his Kentucky farm in 2008. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
