Search sends sex crimes suspect to jail

(KAIR)--A Topeka man is jailed in Jackson County, “following the report of a sex crime alleged to have occurred at [Jackson County’s] Banner Lake early [Monday] morning.”

That word comes from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release issued Monday afternoon.

In the release, Morse identifies the suspect as 19-year-old Tanner Allen Daughtery, who “is believed to have been staying in the Banner Creek Resevoir campground west of Holton.”

He was taken into custody, following a search, on charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, and booked into the Jackson County Jail.

According to Morse, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office “was notified shortly after [2:00] Monday morning of an incident involving a minor child.” Prior to the arrival of law enforcement, the suspect, now identified as Daughtery, “fled the area on foot,” leaving deputies “unable to locate the suspect in the immediate area.”

According to Morse, it was shortly after 8:00 Monday morning that deputies “received a tip that the suspect may be in the 16,000 block of I. Road,” and when they responded to the area, “they were advised the suspect fled into a large wooded area west of the location.”

Deputies, detectives, and K-9 units soon arrived, along with additional help from the Kansas Highway Patrol and the Prairie Band Pottawatomie Nation Police, “who formed a perimeter.”

A KHP helicopter, along with a Sheriff’s Office drone, searched the area, with Morse saying a K-9 team located Daughtery “south of 166th Road east of H. Road in a corn field” where he surrendered, without incident, shortly before 12 noon Monday.
