 Robert Woodring was taken into custody in Guadalajara, Mexico last
month in an operation involving authorities from the United States
and Mexico, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida
said in a statement.
He failed to surrender in September 1977 for removing a yacht to
keep it from being seized by authorities.
Woodring, who formerly lived in the Fort Lauderdale area, had also
been sentenced to seven years in prison in a related mail fraud
case, officials said.
In 1984, he was indicted on charges of failure to appear to begin
his sentence, prosecutors said, and now is scheduled to be arraigned
on Wednesday.
