A 32-year-old man is being extradited from Unalaska to California on outstanding burglary charges.

Steven Brown, age 32, was on the F/V Glacier Bay when he was apprehended on Thursday night, after the Unalaska Department of Public Safety received information from an investigator that Brown was a “fugitive from justice” and that there was a warrant out for his arrest. The warrant does not provide any information on the nature of the burglary, but it did state that Brown had failed to appear before the State of California’s court system on this charge.

According to Sgt. Mike Holman, extraditions like this aren’t exactly common because of a rather unusual reason.

“Most of the time what happens is once the other agency finds out where Unalaska is and how expensive it is to transport someone from here to their location, they choose not to extradite anymore,” says Holman.

 Holman adds that other details on the case are scarce.
