By Kerry Mcqueeney UPDATED: 04:15 EST, 6 March 2012 The wife of a British man facing arms dealing charges in the United States has described a judge's decision to remand him in custody ahead of his trial in the United States as 'heartbreaking'. Elaine Tappin said it was an 'outrage' that her 65-year-old husband Christopher was refused bail after he was extradited to the United States two weeks ago. Judge Robert Castaneda ruled Tappin must remain in custody after US prosecutors told the federal court in El Paso, Texas, he may be a 'danger to the community' if released.
