Local Fugitive Captured in SD Walmart

(KAIR)--A Mayetta man, wanted on an outstanding Jackson County warrant for aggravated battery and child endangerment, is now in custody, arrested Tuesday night in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says 31-year-old Michael Dorsch has been on the run since May 4, when he allegedly battered a woman that evening near Mayetta.

Morse says Dorsch Tuesday was taken into custody in a Sioux Falls Walmart store where he was hiding.

His arrest happened through a cooperative effort between the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, the South Dakota Highway Patrol, the Sioux Falls Police Department, the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office and the Topeka Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

According to Morse, it's believed Dorsch had been hiding out in the Sisseton, South Dakota area, around 160 miles south of Sioux Falls, since the time of his escape from the local area.
