The idiom 'you can run, but you can't hide' proved true for a drug case fugitive who has been on the run for nine years.
Police arrested Avery Sargent over the weekend in waters off Bimini.
Drug Court Magistrate Carolita Bethell had issued a warrant for Sargent's arrest after he failed to show for his trial in connection to a major marijuana bust off South Andros on January 20, 2002.
Sargent appeared before Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez on the outstanding warrant yesterday.
He has been remanded to prison until January 4 when he is expected to appear before Bethell.
Sargent's four co-defendants have been convicted and sentenced.
Ian Cargill represents Sargent.
