 BALTIMORE (AP) - Canadian Olympic gold-medalist Myriam Bedard must remain in jail as she waits for Canadian authorities to bring her home to face charges of parental child abduction and violation of a custody order, a U.S. federal judge said Friday.
Bedard, 37, was arrested a week ago in Maryland and is being held on a warrant for being an international fugitive. She allegedly violated a child custody order by bringing her 12-year-old daughter to the United States. U.S. marshals found her and the girl, Maude, at a hotel in Columbia, a suburb of Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
The Quebec native has been in the custody of U.S. marshals at the Howard County Detention Center since the arrest. Her daughter is back with Bedard's ex-husband, Jean Paquet, in Quebec.
