LYON COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating an alleged rape and have a suspect in custody.
On February 11, police in Emporia asked the public for help to locate German Enrique Diaz, 19, who was wanted on multiple warrants including one charging him with rape, according to Lyon County Crime Stoppers.
The victim was under the age of 14, according to a media release from the U.S. Marshals Service.
U.S. Marshals in Fayetteville, Arkansas were contacted about Diaz possibly staying in the Springdale, Arkansas area late last week. The Springdale Police Department assisted the U.S. Marshals Task Force in conducting a fugitive investigation.
Diaz was ultimately located at a residence in Springdale and arrested without incident after officers locked down the residence. Diaz was transported to the Washington County Detention Center where he will await extradition proceedings.
