Mexican immigration officials yesterday deported Arthur March, who is accused by Davidson County prosecutors of thrusting himself into his son's criminal problems by plotting to kill his former daughter-in-law's parents, authorities said.

Arthur March, 77, the father of former Nashville lawyer Perry March, proved true to his promise that he would not go peacefully if authorities tried to take him from his adopted hometown of Ajijic, Mexico, to face conspiracy charges in the U.S.

"It was not without incident. There was a struggle," said Tom Thurman, the Davidson County deputy district attorney general who is prosecuting the case. He refused to elaborate.

By late afternoon, Arthur March had been placed on an airplane in Guadalajara, about an hour from Ajijic, in the custody of FBI agents, local authorities said.
