A MAN has denied going on the run from an Angus jail for more than three weeks.

John Bowden yesterday appeared from custody before Sheriff Kevin Veal following his arrest by Strathclyde Police at the end of last week.

Bowden, whose address was given as HMP Noranside near Forfar, pleaded not guilty through his defence agent, John Clancy.

The 51-year-old denied failing to comply with a temporary release licence allowing him to travel to Forfar for a shopping trip on May 15.

He denied failing to return to the designated pick-up point and return to HMP Noranside, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The case will call for an intermediate diet on July 10, with the trial due to go ahead on August 5.

Sheriff Veal ordered Bowden to appear.

A police search for Bowden was extended across the UK, with CID officers based at Forfar co-ordinating the investigation with other police forces. He was arrested, with a 50-year-old man, at a farm in the Clydebank area following an operation involving police firearms officers and trained negotiators.

He escaped from prison, and is denying that he escaped from prison despite being arrested miles away from the prison.

Is he some kind of chump?

Bowden is amazing.

"these aren't the droids you're looking for".

i read on some other messageboard that someone's mate was a bit drunk and high and got pulled over by the police and tried using that in his defence. that's fucking genius.

Isn't that one of the variants of the Bil Hicks gag about getting pulled over when he was tripping?

Oh I can't wait till myself and the 'Libcom stasi' on Indymedia Scotland get accused of somehow helping the cops catch him.

And well done if you did. Why don't they just shoot him and get it over with?
