MOSCOW - A court in the Russian city of Vladivostok ruled on Friday to keep U.S. military serviceman Gordon Black under arrest, the Interfax news agency reported.
Participating in the court via video link from a pre-trial detention centre, Black, charged with theft, had sought to have the arrest decision overturned. He said through an interpreter that he would stay in Russia during the investigation and trial.
The prosecution objected, saying Black could abscond if released.
Black, a U.S. staff sergeant, was detained on May 2 by police in Vladivostok on . . .
