An American man who is suspected of faking his own death and hiding in Scotland has been sent back to the United States. Last year, a court discovered that the man, who had presented himself as an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight, was actually Nicholas Rossi, a registered sex offender. The 36-year-old was apprehended while receiving treatment for Covid-19 at a hospital in Glasgow in December 2021. He is wanted in Utah for alleged rape offenses. Police Scotland collaborated with partner agencies to facilitate his extradition. More details regarding this developing news will be released shortly.
