U.S. fugitive nabbed at embassy of his own country

SANTO DOMINGO. – A Puerto Rican fugitive wanted in New Hampshire was arrested by antinarcotics agents (DNCD), after which the Immigration Dept. began the proceedings for his repatriation.

Misael David Garcia will be held in a DNCD cell until his expulsion from the country, said its spokesman Roberto Lebrón, who noted that the fugitive was arrested near the US Embassy, where Garcia went to `resolve’ his case.

“This person went to his Embassy to try to solve his judicial problem voluntarily, but from there the DNCD was notified and its officials came to arrest this person.”

He said Immigration ordered Garcia’s immediate removal from Dominican soil.
