Deputies with the Bates County Sheriff's Office, MO, located and arrested the suspect, Ryan D. Long of La Cygne, on that warrant. Long was extradited back to Linn Co., where he is being held.
Thank you to the Linn County Sheriff's Office, Linn County Attorney's Office, and the Bates County Sheriff's Office for all of their assistance and continued partnership in this case and many others. Zachary Mathies Chief of Police, La Cygne Police Department.
