A coordinated effort involving ten law enforcement agencies and organized by the District Attorney’s Office kicked off Wednesday and continues this week. According to DA’s investigator Kyle Hartwig 20 fugitives were arrested Wednesday clearing a huge number of outstanding warrants along with two new cases generated against one of the fugitives and an additional charge against another fugitive.
“The state’s funding crunch last year forced us to be more resourceful and coordinate our own plans with the assistance from other agencies”, Hartwig said. “Last year’s round up was a success and yesterday’s arrests were too”, he continued.
The fugitive list was compiled targeting those with recent outstanding drug, felony assaults involving dangerous weapons and wildlife warrants. This year’s efforts were more streamlined by having the agents and officers split up into three teams and having a van from the Kay County Detention Facility on site to transport and book the offenders directly into the detention facility.
Those arrested Wednesday: Kathleen A Rowe 58, Fail to pay Kay County Warrant Possession of Controlled & Dangerous Substance; Rodney L Rowe 59, Fail to pay on outstanding Kay County Warrant Possession of a Controlled & Dangerous Substance; Christina A Matthews 24, Osage County Warrant Child Neglect; Lori A Fanning 35, Osage County Warrants for Probation violations both felony and misdemeanor; Theodore M Herrick 51, Osage County Misdemeanor Warrant malicious injury to property, Felony Fail to Appear Warrant for Possession of a Controlled Drug with Intent to Distribute: Heather D Evans 28, Kay County Warrant Driving Under Suspension; Erin N Tuck 29, Kay County Warrant Possession of CDS with Intent to Distribute; James D Hemby 30, Kay County Warrant Possession of CDS with Intent to Distribute; Tasha A Clonts 31, Kay County Warrant Application to Revoke on charges of Possession of CDS; Randal A Fawcett 55, Osage County Warrants Fail to Appear Possession of CDS and FTA Possession of Paraphernalia; Kenneth A White 29, Kay County Warrant Possession of Controlled Substance, Possession of CDS within 1000 feet of a School or Park, Possession of CDS after two or more felony convictions, two counts of Possession of CDS, Transporting an open container; John F Dillow 28, Osage County Warrant Fail to Appear on Knowingly Concealing Stolen Property; Kyle D Johnstone 26, Kay County Warrants Embezzlement, first degree Burglary, first degree Robbery; Jamie J Bailey 33, Garfield County Warrants Application to Revoke on an Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle and second warrant for Attempting to Elude Police Officers; Andy G Flores 22, Kay County Warrant First Degree Burglary; Robert L Creamer 44, Kay County Warrants Possession of CDS (Meth) AFC two or more felonies, Possession of CDS Cocaine and Marijuana, Possession of Paraphernalia; Cassie L Cramer 28, Kay County Warrant Application to Revoke Conspiracy, Application to Accelerate Suspended Sentence for Harboring a Fugitive; Tony M Anderson, 26, Wildlife Warrant Fishing without a license.
“With man power shortages it is difficult to get the time and personnel to make serve these warrants. We are very grateful to all agencies involved for their willingness to assist us in these arrests”, commented Brian Hermanson, DA.
