Liverpool man to be extradited on drugs and firearms charges

Summary

A 32‑year‑old Liverpool man, Adam James Wood, is to be extradited to the UK where he faces life imprisonment for possession of firearms, ammunition and class A drugs. He was arrested in 2017 under a European Arrest Warrant and brought before the High Court in Dublin. UK authorities describe him as having a scar on his left hand and a tattoo reading 'Ciara' on his neck. Police seized firearms, ammunition, phones with images of weapons, heroin and cocaine at his Woodlands Road address in August and September 2014. He is also charged with conspiracy to possess firearms with intent to cause fear or unlawful violence, and with a dispute involving brandishing firearms and criminal damage. His lawyers challenged the extradition on several grounds, including a Brexit argument, but High Court Judge Aileen Donnelly rejected all objections and ordered his surrender under the European Arrest Warrant Act of 2003.
