(KNZA)--A man who had been sought by Hiawatha Police in connection with a Sunday morning burglary and aggravated assault is in custody.
Hiawatha Police Chief John Defore says 39-year-old James Schulp was taken into custody Monday night in Clinton County, Missouri.
He’s being held in the Clinton County Jail pending extradition to Kansas.
On Monday, investigators released several pictures of Schlup on the department’s Facebook page, asking anyone who sees him to contact authorities immediately.
According to police, he fled the scene of the alleged burglary and assault in the 12-hundred block of Apache in a pickup truck believed to have been stolen, and was in the possession of a handgun.
Schlup was also wanted on a warrant for failure to appear.
