PORT HURON, Mich. — A 28-year-old man accused of deserting the Army has been caught by Canadian police and turned over to U.S. authorities in Michigan.

James Ashley was returned to the U.S. on Monday at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron.

U.S. Customs spokesman Ron Smith says it’s not clear if the Royal Canadian Mounted Police caught Ashley at the bridge or elsewhere in Ontario.

Smith says there’s an arrest warrant for Ashley out of Fort Riley, Kan. A message seeking comment was left Tuesday at the Army post.
