BURLINGTON, Vt.—Federal prosecutors say a judge has ordered a drug fugitive once featured on "America's Most Wanted" held for trial.
Thirty-eight-year-old Edward "Big Ed" Campbell, a suspected Oxycontin dealer, was arrested last March by police in Burlington, but he posted bond and fled. A manhunt launched by U.S. marshals in Vermont led to his mention on the TV show, and he was arrested again Oct. 22 in Philadelphia.
Campbell was arraigned Monday in U.S. District Court in Burlington, charged with distribution of Oxycontin and violating federal supervised release.
