Suspect wanted on felony warrant found hiding in doghouse near Kodiak Road

(From the Newton County Sheriff's Office)

You may have seen some police activity around Highway 59, Wal-Mart, Highway 60 and Kum&Go earlier.

McDonald County was in pursuit of a wanted suspect which came north into our county and we assisted them in the chase.

The vehicle wrecked just north of the Kum&Go near Kodiak Road. A wanted suspect with a felony warrant ran from the vehicle but was later found hiding in a dog house.

He is currently located in our jail now.

Thank you to Neosho PD, MSHP and Neosho FD for their quick responses to assist.
