A man who was hiding out in dense bush has been recaptured, after enjoying a meal of oysters, a bottle of champagne, and relying on the help of career criminal Arthur Taylor.
James Matthew Bryant had allegedly been on the run from police for more than a month while on bail.
He is facing charges including assault with a weapon, wounding with intent to injure, and several charges of posting harmful digital communications.
Police considered him dangerous and warned the public not to approach him.
Bryant was delivered to the Dunedin police station yesterday, after contacting Taylor for help.
Taylor spoke to Corin Dann.
