Former Ireland international Anthony Stokes has been returned to Scotland to face justice after evading police for over a year.
The 33-year old Dunliner had been wanted for failing to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court for sentencing last year for bombarding his ex-girlfriend with offensive text messages. A warrant was issued for his arrest with the striker with police believing him to be holed up in Ireland.
He was finally arrested by police in Northern Ireland, who were assisting police in Scotland, and placed on a flight from Belfast to Dundee Airport, where police officers were waiting to take him into custody on Scottish soil. His arrival on the Loganair flight came a year after the initial warrant had been issued for his arrest.
