The Caribbean island of Anguilla has labeled a Connecticut man as a fugitive and will issue an arrest warrant to have him face a manslaughter charge.
Scott Hapgood of Darien is accused of killing a hotel worker during a violent confrontation while he was on a family vacation in April. He has decided not to return to Anguilla to stand trial.
A spokesperson for the family says Hapgood has returned to the island three times for hearings, but says it’s become apparent there’s no chance of a fair trial.
It’s unclear if he will be extradited as required by international treaties.
