 UPDATE 2: Beresford-Redman was ordered held without bail pending the outcome of extradition proceedings. A judge ruled that the homicide suspect did not present a special circumstance that would necessitate his relief. Claiming that he has young children who need him is pretty common, the judge said. 
 
 UPDATE: Bruce Beresford-Redman will remain in custody pending a bail hearing Nov. 29.

 The bell has tolled for Bruce Beresford-Redman's freedom. 
 
 The former Survivor producer, who is charged in Mexico with killing his wife Monica while on a family vacation in Cancun, was arrested Tuesday by U.S. marshals and is now in federal custody while extradition proceedings get underway. 
 
 Further details weren't immediately available, but Mexican authorities have been itching to get their hands on him since May.

 Beresford-Redman was picked up at his parents' home in Rancho Palos-Verdes, where he's been living with his two kids. 
 
 He has maintained that he is innocent and recently won a court battle against his late wife's sisters, who were seeking custody of their niece and nephew, when a judge awarded guardianship to Beresford-Redman's parents. 
 
 "After seven months of tremendous agony, the Burgos family is relieved to learn tonight that Bruce Beresford-Redman has been taken into federal custody," the family's attorney, Alison Triessl, said in a statement obtained by E! News. 
 
 "However, they know that this is not the end in their quest for justice for their sister Monica and are prepared to pursue this horrific tragedy to the end. The family wishes to thank everyone for their continued support." 
 
 Monica's body was found in a septic tank outside the Cancun hotel they were staying at in April, several days after her husband reported her missing. Cause of death was determined to be asphyxiation. 
 
 According to the federal criminal complaint issued prior to today's arrest, Beresford-Redman is charged with aggravated homicide in the state of Quintana Roo.

 Court documents state that an English family also staying in the hotel at the time provided a handwritten statement to hotel security in which they claimed to have been awakened by "screams, crying for help and extremely loud banging in the room above [theirs]." 
 
 "It sounded like a woman in extreme distress," the statement said. 
 
 Responding to today's turn of events, Beresford-Redman's attorney, Richard G. Hirsch, expressed disappointment. 
 
 "Based upon our investigation, he is an innocent man being wrongfully accused by a foreign government," Hirsch said in a statement. "We hope that after full consideration of both sides, a federal court will decide not to extradite him." 
 
 Beresford-Redman is due to appear in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon. He's behind bars tonight at the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown.

 More than seven months after Monica Beresford-Redman's body was found in the sewer of an upscale Mexican resort, U.S. authorities arrested her reality TV producer husband and plan to extradite him for trial.

 Bruce Beresford-Redman was taken into custody without incident Tuesday at his Rancho Palos Verdes home and is expected to fight his return to Mexico, where he is charged with aggravated homicide. 
 
 An 11-page complaint unsealed after the arrest describes a contentious series of events that led to Monica Beresford-Redman's death, including heated fights at a swank Cancun resort where her body was later found in a sewer. The complaint states she discovered her husband was having an affair before the trip and had been seeking a divorce; her sisters have said the couple traveled to Mexico in an attempt to reconcile. 
 
 Hotel workers and guests described seeing and hearing the couple fighting, according to the complaint. Hotel key logs showed someone entering and leaving the room numerous times in the early morning after one fight that rattled guests in a neighboring room, the filing states. It notes the sewer where Monica Beresford-Redman's body was eventually found could be seen from the couple's hotel room, which they shared with their young children. 
 
 Without elaborating, Bruce Beresford-Redman's attorney said in a statement Tuesday evening that he believed the former "Survivor" producer was innocent and should not be returned to Mexico. 
 
 "Based upon our investigation, he is an innocent man being wrongfully accused by a foreign government," attorney Richard G. Hirsch wrote. "We hope that after full consideration of both sides, a federal court will decide not to extradite him." 
 
 Bruce Beresford-Redman is scheduled to make his first appearance Wednesday in a downtown Los Angeles federal courtroom. 
 
 The complaint states a forensic expert who examined the couple's hotel room found traces of blood on sheets and a pillar and balcony railing in the room. It also includes a statement from an acquaintance of Bruce Beresford-Redman who received a call from the producer while his wife was considered missing. The man, who hadn't spoken to the producer in a year, told authorities it sounded as if Bruce Beresford-Redman "was reading from a script" when he told him his wife was missing. 
 
 Monica Beresford-Redman's sister, Jeane Burgos, said in a sworn statement that her sister told her about six weeks before she was killed that Bruce Beresford-Redman was having an affair, according to the complaint. 
 
 Monica Beresford-Redman confronted her husband and he apologized, but when she learned he still had contact with the mistress, she asked for a divorce, according to the complaint. 
 
 Burgos said her sister had the locks on the couple's home changed before the vacation, and told their children's schools her husband should not be allowed to pick them up. 
 
 The complaint states Bruce Beresford-Redman admitted the affair in e-mails, which were reviewed by authorities. 
 
 His arrest came after months of public pleas from Monica Beresford-Redman's family for an arrest in the case. 
 
 "After seven months of tremendous agony, the Burgos family is relieved to learn tonight that Bruce Beresford-Redman has been taken into federal custody," family attorney Alison Triessl said in a statement. "However, they know that this is not the end in their quest for justice for their sister Monica and are prepared to pursue this horrific tragedy to the end." 
 
 The producer, whose is also credited as a co-creator of "Pimp My Ride," somehow was able to leave Mexico before authorities issued a warrant for his arrest in May. He has appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom several times to deal with custody issues related to his daughter and son, and on issues related to his wife's estate. 
 
 Bruce Beresford-Redman's parents were granted permanent guardianship of the couple's 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son last week, after a settlement with two of the children's aunts.
