SA: Man appears in court after 12 months on the run
A 20-year-old man, on the run from South Australian police for almost a year, has appeared
in court amid tight security.
ANTHONY JOHN SMITH did not speak as he stood in the dock at Adelaide Magistrates Court,
following his arrest in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs last night.
His arms were handcuffed to a large belt around his waist and several police and security
guards stood alongside him in the court.
SMITH is charged with escaping lawful custody and with armed robbery in relation to
an alleged offence on March 8 last year.
He's entered no pleas, hasn't applied for bail and has been remanded in custody to
appear again on March 31.
SMITH had been sought by police since allegedly fleeing during a prison supervised
visit to a family member in the Royal Adelaide hospital in March.
He was arrested last night at a house in Greenwith.
