Two brothers from England have been returned to Rutherford County to face charges.
Authorities said 30-year-old Charles Culver, of Milton-Keynes, England, and 27-year-old Dane Culver, of Bedford, England, allegedly skipped court on felony drug charges in 2009.
Officials with the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said the two were tracked to England.
They were charged by the Murfreesboro Police Department with possession of illegal, hallucinogenic mushrooms for resale, felony possession of marijuana for resale, and maintaining a dwelling for use of illegal drugs in 2009, but they failed to show up to court.
A detective with the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force began working on the case in 2011.
He went to their home in Lexington, Tennessee and learned they had fled to England. That’s when he began working with the District Attorney’s Office, Interpol, Scotland Yard, the U.S. Marshal’s, and the U.S. Department of Justice’s International Division to track them down.
After a warrant was obtained to extradite them back to the United States, officials reported the brothers agreed to return.
The two were taken to Nashville where they were picked up by sheriff’s deputies.
Reports stated they have also been charged with bail jumping.
They were being held without bond at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center and have been scheduled to be in court Monday on the bail jumping case and Thursday on the original drug charges.
