(KAIR)--The watchful eye of an alert Jackson County resident is commended for assisting with the arrest of a Hays, Kansas resident who allegedly stole a vehicle and committed both burglary and theft on the Potawatomi Nation Reservation Monday morning. “Somebody called him in as a suspicious person in the area there at 250th Road,” Sheriff Tim Morse tells MSC News. “We believe that he broke into a shed there at that residence and stole some gas.” 

Arrested was 27-year-old Trenton Voss who was captured by deputies southeast of Circleville Monday. When he was located, investigators say he was behind the wheel of a Chevy pickup truck that was stolen from outside a residence, at 162nd Road, near Mayetta Monday. 

According to Morse, his office was providing assistance to the Potawatomi Tribal Police, following the discovery of a burglary at the Potawatomi Nation Government Center, which, coupled with the tip from the concerned resident, led to Voss. “Voss was placed under arrest for possession of a stolen vehicle, and also was placed under suspicion of a burglary to a shed at the residence where his vehicle was stopped. Voss is also a suspect in the burglary to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Government Center and to the theft, and attempted theft, of some vehicles there in the near area of the government center.” 

Voss, taken to the Jackson County Jail following his apprehension, is awaiting the filing of formal charges.
