US fugitive arrested in Bangkok after 10 years on the lam

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

US fugitive arrested in Bangkok after 10 years on the lam

American Drug Fugitive On The Run For 10 Years Arrested In Bangkok

An American fugitive fleeing authorities for ten years on a string of drug convictions has been arrested in Bangkok.
Stephen Bishop Hall, 42, was detained last week on charges of passport fraud without Thai authorities realising he was a wanted man in his homeland.

A tip off by the grandmother of a fellow inmate to the bail bondsman in Florida who posted bail for Hall back in 2007 led to a call to the US Marshal’s office who in turn contacted Thai authorities to inform them he was a wanted man.

In 2005 Hall was arrested on drug trafficking charges after deputies served a search warrant on his car detail business and discovered: a kilo and a half of cocaine, oxycodone, LSD, Xanax, Hydrocodone, Marijuana, Ecstasy, various steroids, Methadone, Soma, and Morphine.
“Obviously, Stephen Hall was not your ordinary drug dealer,” said Lt. John Novy. “He operated a “candy store” for drug addicts.”

Hall pled guilty to the charges and was looking at 30 years behind bars but before his sentencing in 2007 he fled and hadn’t been heard of until last week.

According to Matt Armato of Midnight Run Bail Bonds, Hall will be returning to Citrus County in December to answer the charge of failure to appear.
