Israel extradited a suspected Klansman to the United States on firearms charges today. After his arrest in Tel Aviv last week, Micky Mayon denied any affiliation with the KKK.
According to Reuters, Mayon fled the United States under suspicion of burning the car of a judge who had ordered he stand trial on the firearms charges.
Mayon was being sought by U.S. marshals on two arrest warrants. Charges included illegal possession of a firearm, reckless endangerment and flight to avoid apprehension.
Mayon was not winning any charm points at the Tel Aviv airport.
Addressing the reporters covering his extradition at the Tel Aviv airport he said he had enjoyed his stay in Israel — especially “the Israeli girls” — and wanted to “come back.”
The Israeli Interior Ministry said Mayon arrived in Israel as a tourist in January 2008 on a one-month visa and stayed on illegally, according to Reuters.
