Subject wanted on warrants in Barton County

On 09/02/2020 Barton County Deputies went to Golden City to try and locate a subject that had two active warrants for his arrest. 

Cody G. Roller, age 27, of Golden City has two active warrants out of Barton County. The criminal charges listed on the warrants are Domestic Assault 3rd degree, Burglary 2nd degree, and Stealing a motor vehicle.

Roller was located at a residence in the area of Church street and A street by Deputy Matt Griffitt and Deputy Brandon Carbone. Once he had been told about him having active warrants and the deputies telling him that he was under arrest Roller ran from deputies on foot. 

Deputies believed they had observed him go inside a residence in the area of B street and Church. The residence was searched however Roller was not located inside.

At this time Cody Roller still has the active warrants for his arrest. If anybody has information of his location you can call the Sheriff's Office at 417-682-5541. You can also call in anonymously.

The best case scenario would be that Roller would see this post and just decide to turn himself into the Jail.
