James Joseph Kelly Captured In Portugal

clipped from www.whmi.com A Milford doctor wanted by both local and federal authorities has been captured in Portugal. 48 year old James Joseph Kelly II was on the run since February after Milford Police found thousands of pornographic images of girls, some believed to be younger than 8 years old, on a laptop computer seized in a November search of his Hillsdale Drive home. While his case was featured on “America’s Most Wanted”, Milford Police tell WHMI his arrest last week in Portugal came about after he told the U.S. Embassy there his passport had been stolen and applied for a new one. Embassy officials then saw he was wanted on child pornography charges in Michigan and managed to convince him to return the next day while they arranged for an arrest warrant from Portuguese officials. When he returned to pick up his passport, officials say he was arrested and is now waiting extradition back to Michigan. (JK)
